Richard, I have just been going through the archives from a few months ago and saw your response to my post "SVO without a diesel start/purge". You said that you didnt want to use a two tank system because it would require an SVA certificate. I have had a hunt and as I read it you would not need one. see: http://www.roads.dtlr.gov.uk/vehicle/sva/sva4/04.htm
which lists the following as vehicles requiring SVAs: -------------------------------------------- a left hand drive vehicle a personally imported vehicle an amateur built vehicle a vehicle manufactured in very low volume a vehicle manufactured using parts of a registered vehicle (for manufacturers only - optional) a disabled persons vehicle (mandatory if first licensing and registration required) a rebuilt vehicle (mandatory if first licensing and registration required) a motor caravan (optional) an ambulance (optional) a hearse ----------------------------------------- What information do you have that says that twin tank veg-oil conversions would need an SVA? Have you got your car running on veg oil yet? and what price are you getting oil at? 21p sounds verry good for new oil.
