Yes, in diesel engines. I know because my dad uses it.
You could use vegetable oil to run your car IF it is a diesel. It is not necessarily greener than diesel fuel due to the energy used to produce and transport the vegetable oil.
Vegetable oil is renewable, fossil fuel is not.
Vegetable Oil Fuel Conversion
Yes. Vegetable oils are used to make bio diesel, which can be used like conventional diesel. Vegetable oils are also used to make biodiesel, which can be used like conventional diesel. Some vegetable oil blends are used in unmodified vehicles but straight vegetable oil, also known as pure plant oil, needs specially prepared vehicles which have a method of heating the oil to reduce its viscosity. The vegetable oil economy is growing and the availability of biodiesel around the world is increasing. The NNFCC estimate that the total net greenhouse gas savings when using vegetable oils in place of fossil fuel-based alternatives for fuel production, range from 18 to 100%. source: Wikipedia
Biodiesel fuel can be made out of many organic compounds. Vegetable oil and corn oil are two things that can be used.
Diesel engines can be operated with 'biofuel' with the proper adjustments.
Palm oil refers to an edible vegetable oil while paraffin oil refers to an inflammable liquid hydrocarbon that used as a fuel.
Vegetable oil is much better because it doesn't release as many toxins. <3
yes
Get the oil out of the avocado.Avocados have a high vegetable oil content.This oil can then be refined & turned into bio fuel.
Can conola oil be used in a recipe in place of vegetable oil?Can conola oil be used in a recipe in place of vegetable oil?
No way. It has an internal combustion gasoline engine and runs on gasoline. Some Flex Fuel vehicles can run on a mix of 85% Ethanol and 15% gasoline. But no gasoline vehicle can run on 100% vegetable oil. A diesel on the other hand can run on vegetable oil. Vegetable oil can be used as diesel fuel just as it is, without being converted to biodiesel. The downside is that straight vegetable oil (SVO) is much more viscous (thicker) than conventional diesel fuel or biodiesel, and it doesn't burn the same in the engine -- many studies have found that it can damage engines.
