I considered briefly the sneaky option to use it in a car and discovered that unless you have a very old vehicle (think 3rd world taxi type) the injection pump wouldn't last long. I could have diluted it with normal diesel but that's a faff and of course illegal (so I wouldn't do it!).
I ended up paying someone to take it away.
Doh!. Mixed 20:1 with rapeseed oil its lubricity and cetane are very close to DERV. And perfectly fine in even a common rail.
It would have been worth buying a late Pug 205 dt just to burn it neat. I used to run my 306 with the same engine on Straight veg oil straight out of Lidl. Though a dash of turps helped with the diesel rattle when it was cold. I'd be lieing if I said I hadnt tried 28sec. My tractor loves it. The exhaust smells nicer too
