To be fair i think all the products are the same ktc/tesco etc carnt see there being much difference other than price, I used ktc all the time, then about a week ago bought some ktc long life stuff at 72p a liter (damaged stock) looks abit like wallpaper paste when im putting it in but mixed with derv its fine.
I find on veg i struggle at top of revs and have alot of flat spots since i put derv in and mixed never had any flat spots and can rev right round to the gov (standard gov).
I found my engine sounded louder on veg tbh seemed to be quieter on derv not sure why that is.
Change the fuel filter, that is the cause of the missfire. I've been running on veg for about a year now (apart from when I haven't been able to source it) and I can say that veg is definitely better than diesel. It is cheaper, more powerful (higher certane) and emission free. Why anyone would run on diesel (apart from for performance reasons) I don't know. My only bad experience was from a missfire caused by a blocked fuel filter which I swapped out the fuel pump for, changed the cambelt twice and checked the timing a gazillion times to try to solve. I didn't realise a blocked fuel filter could lead to messed up injection timing but there you go.

What other "select mods"are you meaning n0v0s? I'm looking at modding mine so I can run veg, I want to make the most of it so any knowledge is good...
Pretty much anything other than veg is illegal and/or more expensive.
