It is globally recognised that active steps need
to be made in order to reduce our CO2 emmissions to combat climate change. These include the use
of alternative energies and fuels.
Biofuels are argueably one solution
in the fight to reduce emmissions, and of all the biofuels, the use
of recycled vegetable oil or Used Cooking Oil is recognised as being
perhaps the only sustainable
biofuel.
A
simplification to the administration of biofuels
excise duty was made on 30th June 2007, resulting in a lower
threshold of 2,500 litres of fuel per year being set - below this
limit you do not need to register, submit returns or pay duty!
It is
well known that diesel vehicles can be run on used
vegetable oil - a cheaper, indeed potentially free fuel
that is arguably carbon
neutral. In certain vehicles, only simple modifications are required
to run on this fuel. As with most environmental alternatives
there are some pros and cons. There is some general background
information on this site, however there is a great deal more
information on the web which should be researched to learn about
specifics with respect to your particular vehicle and any issues or
long term effects that are being reported. A good place to start
this research the following messageboard
In the online shop
we have keenly priced components which have gained reputations for being ideally suited for vegetable oil conversion applications.
