Pros: smells nicer than diesel, cheap, and cleans all the sh*t out of your fuel system.
Cons: cold starts are a pain in the arse, more hassle to fill messing around with funnels, loses power over about 3.5k because the pump struggles to move the thick oil.

basically whats been said

pros : cheap, cleans all gunk from fuel lines, more envirorementally friendly,
cons : cleans all the gunk out of fuel lines, can end up with lots of recycling to do, bastard to clean of the side when you spill it, loses power, the more tuned you are the more you notice it, cold starts can be a pain

pro's: cheap as chips, cleans lines, zero carbon footprint

cons: does't go as far, harsher on seals can cause them to seep, smell can be overpowering, increased use of fuel filter elements,

this is from personal experience and i've gone back to pump diesel after a stint as i don't want to have to change seals to veg safe ones lol

Even in cold weather it'll still run on pure veg, it'll just hunt like mad.

On Dave's advice I'm running about 30% diesel, 65% veg, 5% petrol/2stroke and it runs pretty well even in the cold weather.

It doesn't seize them up, it's a lubricant like any other oil. Problem is it munches the seals, something to do with being more acidic or having less sulfates than pump diesel, something like that anyway lol.

It can lock up a Lucas, they can't handle the thickness of cold veg so on a cold morning it could lock up the pump and strip or snap the cambelt...
