It is vegetable oil. You need a diesel engine. The problem is that type of oil becomes thick and won't run in colder climates or even overnight. You can get a tank heater to fix that problem.

How do you compress the calipers on the rear brakes of a Ford Taurus?

What you are referring to is known as Bio Diesel and can be used to power conventional diesel engines. It will not work on gasoline engines. Bio Diesel is thicker than regular diesel and either has to be pre heated or mixed with regular diesel to be used. If a person had their own source of oil for bio diesel then the savings would be substantial. It is environmentally friendly since the oil is from natural plant sources.
