[Biofuel] Running Toyota Landcruiser (HDJ80) on WVO?

An enterprising local farmer has started making and selling 100% Biodiesel from WVO (Waste Vegetable Oil) and is selling it for 85pence per litre (about 10-15% less than we normally pay for diesel here in the UK). Has anyone here experimented with running their HDJ80 on WVO? Initial research
