    Yes the original design was to run on easily obtainable material but over the years the injection system make it less able to run on simple cheap growable fuel.
    A few years back I saw a car that ran on chocolate (coca butter) clean burn cheap and very low engine wear.
    Very unpopular with the petrochemical business. Also about 15 years ago veg oil was 29p a litre vs ?1.00 plus diesel then suddenly up when the price of veg oil to similar how do I know that? I had just purchased a diesel van idea to run on 50/50 mix van had wrong type diesel pump, veg oil even with heated line F**K the pump

    If cinder blocks is the issue ,you can always import raw material from germany
    Another 'green' country ,where you got to have a round green sticker stuck on the windshield
    to have access in some towns...
    A failure will not appear till a unit has passed final inspection

    To qualify as a fire tender all you need is a axe and fire extinguisher then get it type approved if I remember correct?
    A friend had a red Land rover approved that way to exempt MOT!
