I don't know about but in the USA the tax should be payed on it. A diesel motor will even burn lube oil.Make sure it is filtered through a very fine filter . If U don't it can stop up your injectors.

you definitely have to get a conversion kit. I had a '96 Passat turbo diesel and I miss it so much. Never let your brother borrow your car folks!

Diesel and straight vegetable oil have a different viscosity.
If you experiment with percentages. It may be possible to add some vegetable oil (cleaned and filtered). You do risk clogging your injectors. ( I wouldn't do it.)
These links give good info.
