burlman69 asked: We drive an 06 VW Jetta TDI an 99 Ford F250 w/Powerstroke diesel. We brew about 75% of the fuel we use from used restaurant oil. Americans collectively spend $450,000 a minute to buy foreign oil. It is great to reduce our personal petrodiesel consumption. Also, a diesel engine is app. 25-30% more effiecient than a gasoline engine..resulting in increased fuel economy.

Here in Europe the older diesels are making a come back. You can use almost any type of plant oil to run the engine. Some folks are collecting the old frying oil from food places and filtering out any junk and water.
Watch out running home brew or cooking oil in a TDI or CDI motor. These motors use extremely high pressure fuel injection through EXTEMELY small injector nozzles. They are not forgiving if the fuel is incorrect (ie.. dirt, water, gasoline etc..) But on the good side, they are more fuel effiecient and usually better performance then a gasoline engine of the same displacement.
That Powerstroke, well if the product is fluid and has some sort of flashpoint that beast will swallow it and burn it.
