alternative fuels

[AHarvey]

Hi all,

Sitting in the local tonight chatting to a guy who owns the pub, he also runs a local haulage company and was complaining about the cost of diesel.

This got us on to a big debate on alternative sources of fuel, I was quite interested in the biofuels that people where talking about. However, one of them stated tha "Tax must be paid on any oil of any origin which is used to power a road vehicle". Does this include any biofuels that you say grew and processed yourself at home?

I was wondering if people could post a few links here of different types of alternatives and their opinions.

The pub megabrain was wrong. You use upto 2500L of homebrewed biodiesel/vegetable oil on a 12 month rolling cycle and pay zero fuel duty. If you use above that level you need to pay something daft like 50p/L for stuff the takeaway were going to chuck down the drains.
