More - lots more. Not a fixed penalty offence.
Ship gets seized too, pending legal proceedings.

Duty has to be paid on any road fuel. If your brother is running his car on cooking oil, he should declare it to the revenue and pay the duty on it if he wants to be legal.

Wrong-you are allowed duty free to use veg oil for fuel for personal use-there is a limit but its very generous.
You only pay tax if you make biodiesel by boiling up a horrible potentially lethal brew of ethanol and veg oil then precipitating out the biodiesel and soap!
My 60 gallon tanks are still full of red but no where near Belgium!
