You are allowed by the HMRC to Produce your 2,500 litres per year of WVO ( SVO, is Straight Vegetable Oil)

for your own use.

(keep your mileage records. and if buying Oil & other products to process making your own Bio at Retail & Wholesale Suppliers you maybe want to not have a paper trail.

ie Mickey Mouse always Pays in Cash..

do not use reward cards, credit and debit cards.

As to collecting at Chip Shops. you usually find that now in 2015 businesses have collection services and contracts

for current disposal regulations.

just posted this on my veg oil experiences topic

yep it is not a suitable fuel for most modern diesels-and as you say its up to the individual if the cost advantage outweighs the inconvenience. a very valid point

covered that off by redoing the figures using a value of £22k for the octavia earlier in this thread.

yes and no- already been an increase in new veg oil prices since it became more widespread, but wvo is still a waste product for most producers-so currently cheap.

issue is whether it is worth the effort re tax collection etc vs the reduced requirment for waste/environmental enforcement?

cannot answer with any real knowledge for the future-similar appliees to energy generation/unit costs.

 

Sorry, agree with you re. the price aspect.

 

I agree to a point over the taxation issue, but I remain to be convinced. Only because I think things will change soon with VED due to non CO2 emissions.

Maybe me saying collecting from chip shops was slightly out of date, I concede that most places will probably have other methods of disposal :)

Plenty of places that do the collection of used Veg Oil will then sell and deliver to you in bulk.

Its just paying the price and knowing the reputable sellers.

WVO / SVO is not a solution for a Business User running a vehicle just private users.

 

MacDonalds and Tesco have both tried it to some extent.

Thing that bugs me with these is a I have had an electric Peugoet Scooter for about 10 years, which charges off a 13A socket, but these points all have fancy industrial high current plugs.

Re post #30.

Plenty of Commercial Hauliers are using Bio / & Commercially Collected and Reprocessed Fuels.

& pay the appropriate rates of Duty that applies.

(in the posts here about SVO / WVO,  reference to HMRC & Duty was about DIY Collectors & Producers running with what they produce.)
