Ive thought about an Omega 2.5 diesel,but heard some reports that they dont run well on veggie oil.

I ran mine on approx 50/50 with no problems a few years ago,

regarding the "black diesel".
was watching one of the "police-reality" shows the other day, and it mentioned that people add used motor oil to red/blue diesel to disguise the dye.
If you get pulled for a fuel-dip check, you can expect a *lot* of attention.

The best diesel's to run on oil are old Mercedes and the Peugeot/Citroen engines.

I used to have a Ssangyoung Musso 2.9d which uses as old 5 cylinder Merc engine - it ran on neat oil with no modifications at all, in cold weather I'd just mix in a little diesel. The cheapest cars for it are probably old 406's, 306's and old Mercs.

If you've got a modern diesel I think it's only really the VW group diesels that will be happy on it, but they're all very efficient anyway.

Were you ever in the Ssangyong Owners Club, name seems familiar,
