Is it really possible to run a diesel Land Rover on vegetable oil?

The simple answer is yes!  This something I am looking into and one day I might get a conversion kit fitted and run on 100% pure vegetable oil or SVO.  Lots of people tell me that it is perfectly possible to run older land rovers on part veg oil part pump fuel without any modifications.  I am not sure that this is possible with all of the land rover engines and therefore it is not something I suggest you try without doing some research.  

There are tax implications to running on veg oil.  The rate is different for supermarket oil and filtered waste oil.  Do your research before you even consider running your land rover on veg oil.

Once I have decided upon the best way forward I may be running my 200tdi discovery on veg oil.  I will be adding detailed information on the installation of my chosen kit / modifications as well as fuel consumption figures and more info.  I will also list in depth the process of registering to pay tax on your veg oil fuel.  In the mean time I have put together a few links of people supplying veg oil kits and general information on running your car on vegetable oil.
