Question about veggie oil car

Hello,
I have a question. How much is it to completely change an average car's engine into this diesel fuel vegetable oil sippin' beauty? Hope that someone can answer me.
Thanks in advance!

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?
