Nobby,
A guy I work with has been running a pajero/shogun on 100% veg, the only thing he noticed was that he needed to keep the rev's a little higher on a cold start up as it stalled for first couple of min's or so.

blinking heck

i was thinking of chucking 50/50 in and see what happens ive been told that pajeros run quieter and a lot better on chip SPAM but im a bit worried about residue as ive seen 1 disco who run chip SPAM who had to strip his motor down as his rings had gunked up with the crap left over

Oh and you DON'T want Chip SPAM.

You want Vegitable Oil.

Chip SPAM is beef dripping, I have no idea if diesels run on this...

Be very careful,as depending on the age of your truck it may have rubber fuel lines which the veg oil will rot in no time and there are also polymerisation issues where unburnt veg will bake onto your cylinders gum up the rings and find it's way into the sump oil making it thicker eventually causing engine damage. yes many people do run on 100% or a 50/50 mix but they are living on borrowed time. The safest route is to install a twin tank system.
