Someone else suggested that you need a proper conversion kit. Short term your car may run OK, Long term you should dilute with a little diesel especially for starting / stopping engine.

I'm sure there are specialist web sites out there with a load more how to information. But you are supposed to pay duty on the oil if it's for road use and evasion of that duty could eventually get you into trouble.
the way i see it is its not red diesel thats naughty
but i'm going to buy it legit
ive heard it called bio fuel but i'm non the wiser
and as for my car in the book it says when road diesel cant be obtained you can mix the diesel in your tank 70/30 with petrol or use kerosene/paraffin 100%
