    It isn’t illegal to run a car off biodiesel, is it? I know (in the US) some diesel is sold for non-highway use and maybe kerosene is similar, but the issue is tax. If you make the fuel yourself the tax man doesn’t get involved, just like beer and firearms. I think.

      Illegal in the UK if you’ve not paid tax on it for road use. It would appear that you can make your own and then pay the tax on it - you can get a receipt for it if you ‘accidentally’ fill your car up with red diesel - but that’s going to invite a lot of scrutiny, which is what you don’t want when you’re tax dodging.

        Interesting. I don’t think you need to pay tax on homemade fuel in the US but I’m not entirely sure.
