There was an article in the car mechanics magazine last year, it was very informative giving full insructions.

I worked with a guy who used central heating oil mixed with a small amount of engine oil, its initially a lot of hassle to get the viscosity right per batch but worth it. He ran his Pug 205 for about 3 years, covering bout 60K and it had no ill effect. He only stopped because he lives in a rural area and the VED people started dipping tanks to check the farmers for red diesel.

I think the article about chip shop oils suggested the car may need larger fuel pipes, as they are more likely to clogging from the higher viscosity.
