Anyone who owns a diesel car and live around Larnaca area can have the benefit to used Biodiesel for fuel at 30 c per litre .We produce this biodiesel from waste cooking oil it is much better than diesel more clean cleans and lubricate the engine no fumes environment friendly.

I saw an article about Biodiesel some time ago. How expensive is it to create Biodiesel from cooking oil? Can somebody do this by himself?

I see from the news dieesel fule is up to £1.10 a litre in the UK!

Russia, of course, has more oil than it needs

As I have just filled my car up in Uk am curious how much normal diesal and unleaded is in Cyprus now. We used to own an L200 when we lived in Cyprus but could not afford to run it in UK so had to sell it before we came back.

In Limassol there is a pump with "BIO-D.Z.L." sign, near old port roundabout (next to the church). Since my Greek is no good, I couldn't figure out what exactly was written there, only price of 46.5 cents per litre.

Anybody knows?

Anybody can do this but you need to pay the duty to be 100% legal.

Also your cars exhaust will smell of chips.

The smell is very nice and better than smoking carbon dioxide diesel smell .I am using biodiesel for long time 100% for my cars .I dont drive in petrol station

What long term effects does it have on the car?
Do you need to do some form of conversion to be able to use the biodiesel?
Does it matter if its a very old vehicle?

The older vehicles accept it better than the new ones.

I have heard some problems occur on aluminium blocks but as most are still iron thats not widespread. You will also neet to keep an extra eye on fuel filters. From what I can tell Mercedes cars seem to take biodiesel without any probs at all
