Yes. but you have to declare it to customs and excise.

Doubt it - but it would cost you a fortune anyway.

No it is not legal to do this.

My right heel tends to be flat in the grond at impact. How can I change this?

NO ITS ILLEGAL - I WATCHED IT ON TOP GEAR - IT WOULD COST YOU MORE TO DO THIS ANYWAY THAN IT WOULD JUST TO BUY REGULAR DIESEL - ITS NEEDS TO BE ADAPTED FOR REGULAR CARS TO USE

There are certainly diesel vehicles out there burning recycled cooking oil - and it's all open and above board.

Something wrong with my car!?

Your best bet is Bio-diesel.
You can run a diesel on cooking / vegetable oil, however, you would need two fuel tanks - one small one for diesel and one large one for the oil - the oil tank would need a heating element to thin the oil to the correct viscosity, otherwise the fuel injectors would foul up! You'd start the engine on diesel to allow for the warm up time, and stop the engine on diesel so it would start again, switching over to oil in between! There is a Company in Finland / Sweden that does a full conversion kit for around £4000. Yet if you were to go ahead with the conversion, and managed to salvage all the 'spent' oil from your local chippies, filtered and stored it (all yourself) our greed driven Government would still milk you for 26p per litre in fuel duty!! So much for going 'green and carbon-free!

Legality will vary from country to country. Since you don't say where you are, the question cannot be answered.

What is the best way to remove a bumper sticker?


If you intend to use straight cooking oil, or cooking oil diluted with some petro-diesel fuel be very certain that the engine can take it. Most Diesel engine injection pumps cannot handle the greater viscosity of cooking oil and will be damaged.

I took the car key of my Toyota Camry out,but the radiator and starter are still running.What's wrong with it?


Cooking oil used with direct injection engines creates a carbon deposit on the injectors (easy enough to fix) but also around the piston rings. After a few hundred to a few thousand hours of operation, you can can kiss the engine goodbye. Diluting the veg oil with more or less petro-Diesel will probably extend the period before the engine is wrecked but there is no guarantee of this.

Another factor is that the injectors are designed to produce a fine spray of petro-Diesel. They will not do so with a higher viscosity fuel so whatever else is needed, new injectors are needed.

Dose anyone know where i can buy a pair of 1952 ford truck fenders?


Even with stout injection pumps and indirect injection you will probably need to heat the veg. oil slightly before it hits the pumps. It will probably be necessary to start a cold engine on petro-diesel fuel so a second fuel tank is needed too.

How much should I expect to pay for damaging a rear end of a 2001 Honda Odyssey?


Recent Diesel engines with common rail and direct injection are totally unsuitable for straight vegetable oil. One of the easiest to convert is the Mercedes-Benz diesel engine made in the late 70s early 80s.

Hub and lug bolts?

Yes, as long as you declare it to customs and exise and pay the VAT on it..

How can i fix a windshield that has pitts in it?

yes its completely legal. Just make sure you strain the cooking oil really good. but the engine will run just fine on it. this day and time, we must really be thrifty and save every dime we can. i knew a guy that filtered a drum of fish cooking oil and drove his f250 on it with out problems. make sure you do it during warmer weather though, or make the diesel percentage higher.
