People that run their diesel trucks and such with biodiesel or straight-vegetable-oil can get away with taking wasted oil off the hands of restaurant owners because there aren't that many people that run their vehicles this way.

You need an older diesel. You will destroy the emissions equipment on a modern diesel.

It would be too expensive on any modern diesel.
If you want to use vegetable you need to buy an old school diesel from at least 25 years ago.
Can I ask why you want to use vegetable oil?

Converting a car to run on vegetable oil depends on the engine type and conversion kit. A basic diesel-to-vegetable-oil conversion can cost between $1,000 and $3,000. You'll need a heated fuel system, extra filters, and possibly injector modifications. Make sure to check local laws and fuel availability before making the switch!

Converting a car to run on vegetable oil is easier with older, mechanical diesel engines since they handle the thicker fuel better. Regular maintenance is crucial, including cleaning fuel lines and replacing filters more frequently. It’s also wise to source high-quality vegetable oil and ensure it's properly filtered to avoid engine damage.
