[Vwdiesel] Biodiesel vs Waste Vegetable Oil

[The President]

Dasher/quantum/Audi layouts are best/simplest for waste veg oil because you 
have more room under the bonnet [hood }:-D This \means you can take 
advantage of the 'GL' versions purpose built headlamp washer bottle that 
will hold some 20pint+ [uk] of straight oil and with a few lagged turns of 
microbore round the upper rad hose you have no pump uplift issues and tank 
is warmed from return and engine/radiator  radiation 8~D. Done correctly it 
can be discrete too!
