I know of a guy who runs his diesel car (VW rabbit, I think)
on a 50/50 mixture of used cooking oil and kerosene. Apparently
it works okay, but he got the car for next to nothing and is
treating it as an experiment.
Has anybody tried any amount of cooking oil (or used crankcase oil
for that matter) in a military mulitifuel engine, like in the
Reo-style 2-1/2 ton and 5-ton cargo trucks? The multifuel engine is
a diesel, but with quite a different combustion principal than a
normal diesel.
