Yes your 200 TDI will run quite happily on vegetable oil, but it may not start in cold weather, as it may be too thick to pump easily. So you still need diesel. You can have two fuel tank and turn on to diesel a couple of minutes before you stop the engine, so that it has diesel in it to start. Warm up the vegetable oil with heat exchange so it’s nice and thin. Put a t piece into the heater pipes and run the fuel through a double pipe to warm it. You must pay duty on your vegetable oil.
You can get your old injector pump reconditioned. Look for a local specialist in under diesel fuel injection. Using a secondhand chassis on a rebuild is legal but the DVLA’s leaflet INF 26 the Registration of Rebuilt or Radically Altered Vehicles and kit cars explains it all. The situation is very clear, if a secondhand chassis body shell has been used, the vehicle will be automatically allocated a registration.
