Only older engines from 60s/70s don't put it in a modern diesel engine you'll screw it right up!

You can get away with it in cars up to the late 90's as well...Depends on the complexity of the engine...

i'd say he already has been

and you can still put bio-diesil in any modern diesel engine, and that can be extracted from vegitable oil, amoungst many other natural substances, after all the whole point in diesels was that they could be run on a wide range of fuels........

I think you need to add about 10ml of white spirit to every litre of oil to make it combust better though...not sure of the measurements though...
