Just run it on vegetable oil, it's a whole hell of a lot cheaper and

Red is in the mid 60s p/l(*) veg oil from the likes of CostCo or Makro
nearer 80p/l.

(*) Based on kero being just over 50p/l and adding about 12p for the duty
and VAT. This works with road fuels as well, 60p duty & VAT on a base oil
cost of around 50p. Small ball park...
