I have used his book and converted a schoolbus to run on veg oil and it really works, but you have to start with a diesel engine and add a second HEATED fuelsystem to run on veg oil, or you can make your own bio diesel and run it in any diesel engine without modifications.

It's possible. A guy changed his car engine to use veggie oil. Instead of harmful pollution, water droplets came out of the tailpipe. Plus, he got PAID doing this because restaurants want a cheap way to dispose of their cooking oil. The only problem he faced was when he used oil that cooked fish...I saw it on the news.

You can add a cup or two per tank of gasoline, but why bother? It will smoke horribly and kill your catalytic converter. Would work much better in a diesel vehicle.

Cars can be converted to run on vegetable oil but cannot be run that way with no mods. Most cars that are made to run on diesel can run on a very high percentage of biodiesel with no modification but gasoline engines cannot run on the heavier biofuels. A gasoline engine will accept and run well on a small percentage of ethanol enhanced fuel but needs modification to accept anything more than 15% Try or No!
