If you run out of diesel and the only thing around is a few gallons vegie oil can you run your diesel on it until the next fuel station? Do you need to add anything too it? ???

That's akin to getting drunk on straight corn mash. It's a little more complicated that that.<br><br>Here's a recipe:<br>http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_mike.html<br><br>Chris

Thank you but Way to much info <br>Sorry should have added unused vegie oil. The type you would by from a store. What needs to be done to get you to the next fuel stop?

Let me stand somewhat corrected. I found this quote at the following site:<br>Diesel engines can also be run on unmodified vegetable oil, if the oil is heated or mixed with other fuels. Using waste vegetable oil this can be an amazingly inexpensive and ecological alternative fuel. <br><br>http://www.dancingrabbit.org/biodiesel/index.html<br><br>But, I don't know that I am confident enough to pour a gallon of Wesson oil into my tank yet. It says you need to dilute it with something else or heat it to reduce the viscosity.<br>http://www.dancingrabbit.org/biodies..._oil_fuel.html<br><br>Chris
