personally after all the scrapped pumps i've had to replace, i wouldn't go near it m8. the vege oil rots the seals in rotary pumps 7 you're forever changing filters. if common rail, it is too thick to go through system & knackers high pressure pump, common rail & injectors. if common rail don't touch vege oil, if old rotary pump, best to just mix with good diesel - not supermarket city diesel 50/50 in summer & 70 / 30 to diesel majority in winter

I agree with dafdianos i ve been working on vehicles for 34 years and would not go near it

forgot to mention that vege oil also clogs up tank pickups & lines to engine so you'd need a tank & line heater too. if using vege oil, best way is to acquire some clear 25lt plastic containers, fill with the vege oil, leave & wait for sediment/crap to settle to bottom for a month & just use clean oil off top, but still mix with diesel to preserve your pump etc

guys with waste oil you are better of using the waste oil in old diesel cars or turbo diesel ones for newer diesel cars it must be cut 50/50 with proper diesel as for the ebay item with the two glow plugs waste of cash
