I do stop start all night around town anything between 25-150miles a night

Veg does all kinds of nasty stuff over time so fuel lines etc could well be gunked, just look at how often you need to change fuel filters when running the stuff.

I reckon a few weeks on proper diesel and you'll probably see most issues disappear

To be fair the issue has pretty much gone already had a couple of times were it took ages to start last night but as the night went on it started first time every time never missed once. So nice to have derv in before in a other post i did a 30-60 time i believed it wasnt possible to do a 30-70 with out a gov mod, the veg really really dose take the top end off before it struggled to go over 4k now i 4,800rpm and i can do 30-70, The speed difference is amazing before i would struggle to brake traction in first lol Now i have it skips around like mad 1st 2nd AND 3rd to and after that the clutch lets go and just spins up ..... Im just so amazed on the difference defo think im gona run a good 50/50 mix for a while and every now and agin when im skint run 100% veg, Carnt wait to get the td04 on now and gov mod Smile

Is it worth me looking in to a in line fuel heater??

I was going to do the fuel filter mod but it wont warm the veg up when the car is cold so i dont see the point to be honest
