DIY KIT

Custom Installation

Run your car on Vegetable Oil and help reduce Co2 emissions - cut running costs to you and help the environment.

Veggiepower provides easy to install conversion kits- or we can do the conversion for you. Ever imagined running your car legally and free on oil from your local chip shop or restaurant? It's perfectly possible.

There's nothing new about running vehicles on veggie oil. It is well tested and proven to be an excellent fuel.

Rudolph Diesel ran Diesel engines (compression Ignition engines) on peanut oil as long ago as the 1890s.

The German company Elsbett has been re- examining the use of vegetable oil as a fuel, since the 1980s.

Veggiepower has driven nearly 50.000 miles on WVO(Waste Vegetable Oil ), SVO (Straight Vegetable Oil) and PPO (Pure Plant oil).

This includes two 3,000 mile test drives to Southern Spain and back. And, yes, we got there and back, problem free and cheaply!

How did Veggiepower get started?

Fired by a passion for the planet and ecology, we put in years of research and converted our first car to run on Locally produced and/or Waste Vegetable Oil in 2005.

Since then we have been supplying DIY kits, and promoting Veggiepower at events and festivals all over the country. We use a twin tank system because we believe this is more reliable and more cost effective way forward for DIY fitting.

Our conversion kits have also been tried and tested and found to be working beautifully at Bath University.

Who's running on Veggie Oil already?

Well, Veggiepower, of course! plus......

EX formula one World champion, Jodi Shecter, (now ,an organic farmer) grows rapeseed oil to fuel his £100 000+ converted tractor.

X England goalkeeper David James (now Portsmouths goalkeeper .......

 Along with press coverage of alternative fuels, Veggiepower has featured frequently in the media and on TV .

We have also lobbied the Government, as members of the United Kingdom Pure Plant Oil Association (UKPPOA) and, in July last year, the Tax payable on vegetable oil as a Road fuel was removed, for consumption of less than 2,500 litres per year. (HM Revenues Link)

This means it is now possible for you to run your vehicle TOTALLY legally and FREE on Waste Vegetable Oil if you recycle vegetable oil from restaurants /chip shops. Alternatively, you can either bulk buy oil for home delivery or shop at the supermarket.

Meanwhile, more and more farmers are growing, pressing, and selling oil direct, so as this eco-solution becomes more popular, there may well be a supplier close to you.

Waste Vegetable oil Petition
Its time to stop pouring waste oil into landfill and down the drain.This waste problem could be made into a resource.The UK produces over 200,000 tons of waste cooking oil per year

Waste oil can be filtered and used directly as a fuel without the need for extra energy in processing. Although it will only provide a small percentage of the countries fuel needs it will also save on landfill and make waste water treatment less costly.
