Welcome, lots of us run these on cooking oil, that is clean new vegetable oil known as SVO, the issue seems to be that it is getting harder to get SVO at a decent price.

Don't go mad with the cooking oil till you get used to the smell of it. I use about 50% more if I go on longer trips. You could also get cheap Biodiesel if you live near a producer. Several around Rochdale. And welcome to the forum. David.

I have had no filter problems either and I have run at up to 100% rape seed oil, no modifications just tipped in the tank, though I'm running on diesel at the moment as I don't have a decent SVO supply :nenau

but on the bright side I'm not doing many miles so it's not costing a fortune.
