It literally is just a case of pour it in if you have a Bosch pump. I mix in about 200ml 2-stroke oil with every tankful of veg just to keep the pump lubricated, but besides that I run it 100%, and have been for about a year. On a cold morning it starts first time but needs the revs holding above 1500 for a few minutes or it'll stall, and it idles unevenly for 5 minutes or so, but it summer it's just like starting on diesel. I was blocking fuel filters every 1-2k for the first 7-8k or so, but now the veg has washed all the crap out of the fuel system I've been running 1 filter for 5k and it's fine! All the stories about filters blocking and leaving you stranded haven't applied to me, you can feel it long before it blocks completely, it'll struggle to rev over 3k.
Actually, question for you. What's the price of veg oil like over there? I'm going to stay with family in Mayo in the summer, not sure whether to bring loads over or buy it there. Best deal I've found is £14.99 for 20 litres from Costco.
