Doesn't mixing bio and mineral count as mixed fuels?

What's the RR like on LPG? I drove one of the V8 Jaguars on LPG. This was a shoddy aftermarket effort and it really didn't do the car any favours.
Bio and mineral diesel are both diesels, so my guess is that they would be treated as the same fuel type.

I have a useful contact in the police who answers questions on highway law. If anyone is interested I will post his contact details. He is very helpful.

Aylesbury could well be doing as you say and not be aware of the European law

Although it is a basic system (simply pumped in just before the plenum chamber, there is no difference in performance. With it costing around 53p/litre it makes the V8 just about affordable
