ASDA & Tesco, so you've probably already used it!
They only use a 5% blend.

I think you can legally (UK) produce a certain quantity of it yourself without paying Tax, but it still needs to be blended with normal diesel, up to 20% Bio, to run OK in your car

Be interested to know of anyone running on 100% biodiesel and how they get/produce it!

As long as you keep production records and produce less than 2500 litres you can receive exemption from excise duty. HMRC has relevant info.

There must be loads of lads up yer way keeping it below 2500 lts with the lack of duty HMRC is getting from fuel.
