Or is there more to it than that??
Surely its cant be that simple!!
Hopefully somebody will know & possibly advise me of pitfalls if this is the case
Thanks

A quick google search should help you out with an answer - there are some dedicated sites out there to help you make this happen - in essence though you can't mix the fuels (EDIT: you can I'm wrong) and you need a pretty heavy duty fuel filter - which you'll go through a rather high number of. But other than that it's pretty straight forward.
The other thing to remember is even though the oil is only 50p/lt you STILL have to pay duty on it otherwise it's still illegal...
this is an interesting read
