Exactly. Biodiesel *or other fuel subsititutes such as veg oil*

The point is that you make bio-diesel from veggie oil.
The very first successful engine made by Rudolf Diesel was designed to run 
on veggie oil, (Peanut oil if I remember correctly), and mineral oil was 
adopted much later. The original idea was to use veggie oil as it was much 
easier to come by and needed less expensive processing. Old Rudolf was way 
ahead of his time. He did, in fact state his engine was meant to cut down on 
pollution.
Diesel died under mysterious circumstances in 1913, vanishing during an 
overnight crossing of the English Channel on the mail steamer Dresden from 
Antwerp to Harwich. Diesel's death might have been suicide, accidental or an 
assassination. Proponents of the assassination theory point out that shortly 
after Diesel's death, a diesel-powered German submarine fleet became the 
scourge of the seas. Diesel had been friendly to France, Britain and the 
United States.

Yes a fuel subsitute but for HMCE regs they class it as a biodiesel

Give them a call like many others have

Which bit of "OR OTHER" are you having difficulty with?

Which  CUSTOMS AND EXCISE Department have you spoken to?
I merely repeat what they told me. They have explicitly told me and
all the members of the Biodiesel forum that, for the sake of the new
regulations, SVO is classed a Biodiesel.
