What is the best vegetable oil to run a diesel car on without modifications?

Question:

Answers:

without doing the modifications only use 20% vegetable oil mixed in to your diesel. any higher of a mix will destroy the injector etc. vegetable oil is thicker ,contains an acid and higher level of water content,also running on pure veg oil you need to have separate diesel tank to start and turn off the engine (veg oil thicker harder for glow plugs to heat etc) you can filter old chipper oil. do a search on the net plenty of sites.

You need to add a thinning agent to the oil. But are you really that tight? Your engine will not like it, you'll smell like the kid that works in the chip shop......oh, and you'll probably be prosecuted for tax evasion. Get yourself a nice cheap motorbike mate. Or a better paid job.

Without modifications your asking for trouble. You'll need a tank and fuel pump, start on diesel and switch to the oil, before stopping engine switch back to diesel to clean out system. The oil will have to be filtered before use. For what you would spend on modifications and time collecting the oil, you'd have to drive many miles to recoup your investment.
