i run my 95 sx-g on veg oil but there are things to bear in mind when doing this.in warm weather you can run on just veg oil but when it gets cold then you have to dilute with diesel.at the moment because of the really cold spell im putting more diesel in than i normaly would.if i put 10 liters of oil in i will put 15 quid of diesel in.if you dont the oil will go like jelly.1 good thing about veg oil is it lowers your emissions when you take your bus in for a test.the down side is in cold weather your bus may be a bit sluggish when you first start her up and pull away.
