Misinformation ? To quote HM Customs and Excise NOTICE 179E Biodiesel and Bioblend 2002
"To qualify for the new rate of duty or for a repayment, biodiesel must be diesel quality liquid fuel produced from biomass or vegetable oil (including recovered vegetable oils): . the total ester content of which is not less than 96.5% by weight; and . the sulphur content of which does not exceed 0.005% by weight. Diesel quality means capable of being used for the same purposes as heavy oil; and biomass means the vegetable and animal substances constituting the biodegradable fraction of products, wastes and residues from agriculture, forestry and related activities; or industrial and municipal waste." I quite often hear this 'only fuel from waste oils' statement getting bounded about but the HMCE position appears somewhat different.
