Well, tonight, im going to put half and half in my Ford Escort 55 Van. It's a 1.8diesel, and i'll come back here and tell ya if it makes a differnce to the performance.

From what i can remember the bio-diesel is only like 5% chip fat.
apparently it didnt decrease the performance any... the presenter even said that diesel engines were originally made to run on vegetable oil or something like that... and to think we pay more tax than anything else for fuels which are toxic to the enviroment lol
