About fuel UCO SVO - biodiesel

Producing tax free 2,499 litres fuel is the most viable option

Before you start producing biodiesel and or using used cooking oil as fuel substitute we strongly advise you to contact your local environmental department to register for paragraph 5 exemption (this is not a licence to collect waste cooking oil it is a licence to produce and use fuel) in Scotland contact SEPA and read public updated notices and contact HMRC taxes, read HMRC historical duty rates 1/4/10 & 13 parts see link. Check 2,499 litres are rolling 12 monthly. If you produce over 2,499 litres you could cancel your tax free be due back tax on past 12 months. 2,499 can be mix biodiesel & used cooking oil (SVO) fuels.

Q. when does used waste cooking oil become fuel

A. Used cooking oils (UCO) becomes fuel when it is filtered to fuel standard we advise filtering be to 5 micron for fuel tanks. Biodiesel fuel see products biodiesel page.

Oil supplies

Tax questions please contact HMRC

Biodiesel energy co uk supply used cooking oils that are not filtered to fuel quality due to us being liable to charge tax if we did and we would have to add that tax to oil price when it might not be taxable due to 2,499 litres tax free, another reason we can not charge tax is the raw UCO can be made into biodiesel, UCO contains free fatty acids (FFA) etc that is turned into by-product glycerol so say 100 litres UCO will be turned into 85 litres biodiesel fuel we would of charged tax on the 100 litres UCO , it is fuel that is taxable not raw used cooking oils that are not fuel. None fuel stored used cooking oils have to be accounted for when audited against waste cooking oil transfer notes so you are advised to have the legal exemption waste management licence in Scotland through SEPA that will allow you legally to make UCO into fuel and UCO into biodiesel prior to oil deliveries from us. If you need help read the public updated notices or contact HMRC.

Making UCO into UCO fuel

After registration exemption para 5 you can make up to 2,499 litres of filtered used cooking oils (fuel) that is fuel substitute or a mix of filtered used cooking oils and biodiesel (fuels) in any 12 month rolling period if you go over 2,499 litres of fuel production in any 12 month rolling period you will cancel out you tax free 2,499 litres for that 12 month period 2,499 litres in this case will be taxable and you will have to then register with HMRC taxes and any future 12 month rolling period you go over, current month + last 11 months is the thing to watch that can be controlled by storing and controlling purchasing of raw UCO that can be purchased from us.

Tax rate for UCO fuel is same tax rate as sulphur free diesel rate link  historical duty rates the link is updated by HMRC however checking with HMRC is advised.

Tax free 2,499 litres can be UCO fuel or biodiesel fuel or mix both UCO and Biodiesel fuels.

Waste cooking oil can be made into biodiesel see products biodiesel page.

Conversion Vehicle suitability

Not all diesel vehicles, engines are suitable to convert to SVO. Diesel vehicles fitted with most types of rotary pump produced by Lucas, CAV, Delphi, Stanadyne and Rotodiesel are not recommended for conversion as the pumps are not strong enough to pump cooking oils. Solution replace pump with other than above if possible.

The majority of vehicles however are fitted with suitable fuel injector pumps for conversion. Suitable pumps include: Bosch pumps installed on many European manufactured diesel engines and the majority of pumps fitted on Japanese or Asian vehicles including Nippon-Denso, Kiki, Zexel and Doowon.

With certain vehicle manufacturers you are almost assured that the vehicle is fitted with suitable pumps. Volkswagen, Audi, Mercedes and latterly Skoda and Seat exclusively use Bosch fuel injector pumps. Likewise Japenese diesel vehicles are also a pretty safe bet to have suitable pumps. We know Mercedes runs well on SVO.

Insurance

Most insurance companies we contacted had no problems changing insurance details at no extra cost to include second fuel tank as this is classed as a conversion. Carrying cooking oil in vehicles was OK with most insurance companies with no changes needed to insurance. Check with your insurance company if you have problems change insurance company is advised. Note cooking oil is a standard shopping product carried in vehicles.

Start and stop engines on diesel/biodiesel

Starting the engine to get the SVO to the correct velocity start and run on biodiesel up to and after 15 minutes after the engine water temperature gauge reaches normal then switch to SVO then immediately switch off biodiesel.

Stopping the engine before stopping the engine switch off SVO then immediately switch on biodiesel and run on biodiesel for ten minutes before stopping the engine.

Red tank can be filled with 100% biodiesel or any amount of mix biodiesel/diesel.

The main tank is the red tank and the added second tank is the yellow tank, note the main tank can be converted for oil (SVO) with a second small tank 10 + litres container for diesel/biodiesel for stop start use only.

Convert yourself is not expensive, contact us as we are listing garages that do the conversion. The main tank can be converted for SVO with a small second tank for diesel or and biodiesel.
