    If you are in Waterford/South Kilkenny you can buy it at about 85c a ltr from a place in Granagh just at the start of the N24.

    The filling station in Ballyhea outside Charleville sells PPO, its around the 85c too I think.

    The A4 just has a single DIN slot for a radio, so anything will fit. In 1999 it also had a blaupunkt radio as standard, so I assume any compatible changer will fit.

    whats the story with the tax on this biodiesel? as in, if im stopped and dipped, will it be detected as biodiesel? and if so, will the tax be paid on it, or could i be done for not paying it???

    Its a viable fuel type, you will not get done. But it costs about a grand to convert the car, was on TV3 a couple of months ago

    maybe your getting mixed up with running diesels on chip oil???

    afaik any fuel that can be used to power a car on the road is taxeable.

    ie petrol, diesel, gas (lpg), biodiesel, chip oil.

    i wanna know if the fuel depot or petrol station has already paid this tax

    I would guess so seeing as it is already an option and was on the news etc about trying to open country wide!

    biodiesel and veggie oil are not the same thing, in case there is confusion here.
