Diesel engines can be modified to run on biodiesel fuels. Cooking oil can be used as biodiesel fuel for these modified engines. However, if you are considering using cooking oil in place of engine oil, do not do it! Cooking oil cannot handle the pressures and temperatures of a running engine for too long, it will break down. It will quickly lose its viscosity and then the engine will seize and, I suspect, ignite.

Some cars use vegetable oil to run a car. Cars with uncovered sides will break the fuel, spraying people that sit close to the fuel engine. Any car that is a mobile car will use vegetable oil.

You can use vegetable oil in your machine as well. If you know someone who owns a restaurant than he/ she more than likely has tons of this stuff. Please take note of two things if you decide to use vegetable oil! You want to make sure the temperature stays above 50 degrees or it will quickly clog up the filters and it must be mixed 50/50 with either used motor oil, Transmission Fluid, or diesel. If you have a 55 gallon drum of waste oil and a 55 gallon drum of used vegetable oil than you can combine them to make 110 gallons of usable fuel for your oil burner.Its been a common misconception that you cannot burn any synthetic oil. That's not true. Like vegetable oil you just need to make sure that its combined with the other type of 100% acceptable oil. The main reason for this, which holds true for vegetable oil as well, is that those oils alone do not burn well when they get ignited.

You do not burn gasoline, paint thinners, or any solvents with chlorine in your boiler. You will mess it up. You also want to make certain that little to no antifreeze or water gets into your oil burner as well. hope this helps! Miguel
