What changes are required to run a diesel engine on vegetable oil. How much does it cost?

What are the specs on running a vehicle on used vegetable oil? I am wondering what sort of conversions need to be made to the engine and fuel systems. How much will it cost to implement these changes? Does running a vehicle on these fuels cause engine problems, even if basic maintenance is performed?What changes are required to run a diesel engine on vegetable oil. How much does it cost?
You're kidding, right? You actually think this is somehow environmentally helpful? Turning ';food'; into fuel? Whether it is Bio- Diesel, Ethanol, or used vegetable oil it is a bigger waste than readily available fossil fuels. The low rated efficiency of these scam fuels and the water consumption associated with their production, negates any benefit they might provide. The other factor is that you will significantly reduce the life of your engine! Amazingly enough, the engineers that designed it did not envision using anything other than a petroleum based fuel...What changes are required to run a diesel engine on vegetable oil.

It is only considered a fact in the small minds of the brainwashed and uninformed enviro-sheep... Report Abuse

You don't convert the engine. You convert the Veggie oil (or cooking oil) to bio-diesel. After the conversion it is basically like ANY DIESEL FUEL and it can run in ANY DIESEL CAR.








good Luck...
You need to replace all the rubber that comes in contact with the vegetable oil. Vegetable oil will rot away normal tubing and gaskets. Other than that no changes are needed.
technically none are needed, just make sure you filter the used cooking oil, and yeah it should run without a problem. i would simply google for more info
