Have a look at http://www.vegetableoildiesel.co.uk/forum/index.php
There appear to be a lot of concerns with using veg oil in direct-injection engines, because the fuel can contact and gum-up the piston and cylinder bores - this didn't happen with the older indirect-injection engines.

There are a couple of basic problems with using vegetable oil.
1) It tends to throw out solid material in cold weather which 'bungs things up' to put it crudely. Diesel can do this and it is known as waxing but at least suppliers try to avoid this problem.
2) Vegetable oil oxidises to form 'gums'. This makes a right mess of things as you might suspect.

if its chugging... try blending somthing with the oil... say 50/50 with diesel... and examine out that.... some engines wont run on immediately veg oil even on the pumps.. bio diesel is about 50/50 with diesel

Not advisable with modern systems/engines.
