yep, as long as you have a bosch pump its literally as easy as easy as go to tesco, buy much veg oil, pour into tank, drive away.
some people here run 100% straight veg but i prefer to mix it with diesel as it makes it makes it alot easier to start and IMO is healthier for the pump and injector setup.
diesel has a sulphur content that is used to lubricate fuel pump internals and injector tips also prevents the seals rotting, a bit of problem with veg.
running on veg you may notice a sligtht power loss due to the lower calorie content of veg oil compared to diesel and also de-creased mpg but its so much cheaper to buy the difference doesn't really matter
