Is it true you can run a Diesel engine on vegetable oil

yep. If you are using used veg oil you will want to strain it first. You don't want the old burnt chicken bits to get caught up in your engine.
other than that, you can run a diesel engine on vegetable oil just like diesel.
Hope that helps

Absolutely! It's also known as "bio diesel". It's biodegradeable, renewable, and actually cleaner burning than regular diesel fuel. For more info check out the link below.

yes just like the mythbusters my grandson did that at school.they have to strain the oil like a bunch of times in a 24 hour period to get it really cleaned(refinded).The mileage drops slightly but,the performance don't seem to suffer.his boss has been giving him the used oil from the store and he's not had to pay for a lot of his gas,since he doesn't drive far.his method only gives you a little over a quart for every gallon used.
