I've looked in to converting my vehicles to bio-diesel, but have come to the conclusion that it just isn't really worth it. So for anyone thinking about converting, take the following in to account:
There's the issue about diverting production away from food and associated de-forestation, etc.etc.
There's the cost of converting your vehicle (which admittedly doesn't need to be much - from £100 upwards I think?). However, it seems to be a mine field out there about who and what to believe. For every person you come across saying 'this works', you'll find another who says 'no, it doesn't'. You therefore risk damaging your vehicle if you inadvertently do the wrong thing.
I even looked in to brewing the fuel myself, but it just doesn't seem worth even going down that route.
Then there's the cost of the fuel, which no longer seems to be significantly cheaper than petrol or diesel.
