    Just wondering, if you run a Diesel on part vegetable oil, on it's next MOT, will it pass on CO2 emissions?
    Emissions aren't tested for Diesels during an MOT, just a visible smoke test.

    Thats how Diesels can get away with decats...

    oh yes. veg oil is a lot cleaner burning than diesel. you don't get any soot particulates and no hydrocarbons in it. makes you wonder why its useage is not more widespread really, doesnt it?

    Thus why you can get away with a decat.
