              you would have to be careful running it with chip fat at this time of year,would knacker your injector pump up in no time

                Don't want to start a debate but Afaik you can mix 50/50.
                As you say spink it's very cold at the mo so i would'nt want to risk it.

                  Most people recommend starting the engine on standard diesel and having the chip fat in a spare tank or having some sort of warmer to keep it in a liquid rather than a solid.

                    there is 100% bio diesel available at certain places in england which has had all the crap taken out of it and its about 75p per litre.I use it in mine now and again and its runs fine,it actually cleans out all the gunge that diesel leaves in your tank due to the chemicals they add to get rid of the glycerine.Ive have never seen any black soot come out of the exhaust while running on it like i do with normal diesel.Ive been doing some pretty insane mileage lately and it saves me about £20 per tank.
