I put this document together for a Department of Transport consultation.
I think it would be of interest.

This all started when my interest was sparked by Niels Anso
posting a thoughtful response to the Ricardo Study of SVO emissions. In
his response he mentioned the effects that phosphor in the fuel could
have on combustion. This was the first time I had seen this discussed
and I had since

Sorry for the delayed reply, just started catching up with a few weeks
worth of posts.
I think it was the Weinstephan University in Germany (those of rape oil

for chainsaw oil. There is/was a .pdf file of the report somewhe

I understand that the increase in NOx when burning biodiesel/SVO
is thought to be largely due to the compressibility of the fuel and an
effective advancement of the timing as the fatty fuels will not compress
as much as diesel fuel.
I have for sometime wondered if the injector m

Brett,
I visited a WVO company in Switzerland during January. They had
converted a number of vehicles for local haulage companies. The Swiss
Scania main dealer was supportive of their work as they had converted a
number of Scanias using twin tank systems. In total they had converted

Nice to hear some first hand experiences.

What would be the tax implications for you if you added a cetane

I've been looking into clear plastic suitable for use in SVO systems,
where it may well contact diesel, biodiesel and both waste and fresh
vegetable and animal oils and fats.

The tax for 'biodiesel' is set at 20 pence below that of ultra
low sulphur diesel. This rate was determined to be sufficient to
encourage production of 'biodiesel' from recycled fats and oils but not
large enough to promote production from fresh oils. There was a desire
