When I was at the tech school a few years back, a guy came around who ran his VW TDI on recycled cooking oil. Thing is, the cooking oil has a copper tube from a heater hose run through the SEPARATE veg oil tank, and the veg oil solenoid is NOT turned on until the engine--and the oil--are up to operating temp. So the car is started on regular diesel from the pump at the gas station, and run on that until the engine AND the veg oil is fully warmed up.
