Well, its more like a farmyard - but they charge 70p/litre for proper biodiesel which makes the exhaust smell slightly of chipfat but thats it. 100% legal including bloody fuel tax :/
btw, the government taxes biodiesel at a reduced rate as it does LPG and would bio-ethanol (if anyone bothered with it). However, thats going to end in 2008 according to the most recent budget so LPG conversions are going to get more expensive to run. So is biodiesel of course, but you don't need to convert a diesel to run on one....

Yea be careful runnning on untaxed fuel as a couple of years ago loads of people where stopped in south wales running on untaxed biofuel. The were found by the scent!
EU regulations states that by 2010 ALL diesel will have to be 10% bio. Much of it is already.
I agree with brianmoore though deisel is foul stuff, it makes the insides of your lungs pop and eventually bleed, far worse than smoking! (Thats why I wear a mask when cycling in london....)
LPG is the way forward. Seen a few gov documents (its great being a civil servant!) about ^ and the ending of the reduced tax for LPG, and it doesn't look like it will end in 2008 as there are so many local council+ other government cars that have been converted to run on the stuff.
Isn't LPG equvilant to 100octane?
