You could get the fuel pump serviced and seals changed for ones that don't mind veg oil. But I wouldnt go just filling it up with it, use a mixture and more so derv

If you have a manual fuel pump you can swap to an early type bosch fuel pump, these will run on straight veg no worries. I had a mk3 golf diesel running on veg for 3000 miles i now have a 205 diesel running on veg +8000 now and still going strong. Only thing is when cold it runs like a total swear word for the first 2 miles then the engine hunts (revs going up and down) for 3 or 4 miles untill hot. This would anoy the swear word out of most people untill you work out the savings, Renault 21 turbo = £110/£120 petrol per week, peugeot 205 = £28 (Asda had a roll back on veg oil :-). So if your doing miles a week put up with the 10 min bad running when cold and enjoy the fact your not giving the government any more than you have to. Ps DON`T TRY THIS WITH A LUCAS FUEL PUMP, IT WILL EAT ITS SELF INTERNALLY!

Different engine (VW AAZ 1.9TD), but I find any bad running/poor starting is over within the first 20 seconds or so. I'm saving around £25 per 70 litre tank and doing over 300 miles a week so it soon adds up.

I build a golf 1.9 (1Y) engine in my T25 (camper but using it daily).
So how does it work on veg oil? does it work with this diesel pump?

Not up to speed on vw engine codes but again if it`s the manual bosch pump you will have no worries, also your best to use new fresh veg oil, by the time you process old oil (filtering, heating ect) you can save aprox 3 or 4p per litre over new oil. not realy worth it if you buy oil from asda or macro the 15/20 litre containers sell well after you run out of uses for them.

ooh, that would be nice then!
so I make a separate tank then? no need to pre heat?
I guess the pump is mechanical? There's only 1 wire connected, it came out of one of the first golf 3's so basic fuel pump

On the whole as already said bosch pumps will run new veg oil without a problem where as the lucas pumps are weaker internaly and so really need a 2nd tank thats heated to thin the cooking oil down and you need to start and stop the engine on diesel to ensure the pump is allways full of diesel when cold.
Lucas pumps will also need veg oil friendly seals as they will shrink and leak but after going back to straight diesel they will reseal again, i do run my lucas pumped P100 on new veg oil/diesel but have to stick to 40/60 or the seals leak, i add petrol (from misfueled customers cars) to thin the new oil but the leaking still remains a problem.
The newer high pressure style diesels are a no no for anything other than diesel IMHO

Took my peugeot 205 for mot yesterday failed on a track rod end, what was interesting though is the emmissions, it averaged a 1.37 which those informed will know is approx half what you should expect for a diesel car running on pump fuel. Seems veg oil not only saves you just over 40p a litre but also keeps Jonny polar bear cold and happy. Win win in my books.
