According to the Biodiesel.org website, there is kind of a chemical refining process that is done to the veggie oil before it's mixed with the diesel. I think this is to get the solids out of the oil before it hits the fuel filters and plugs everyting up. My brother and I are going to be experimenting with a device that looks a lot like an old fashioned cream separator to centrifuge the solids out. So far, we've had decent results putting used cooking oil through a filter mixing with diesel and running it in his truck, but only at temps above freezing. His mileage has gone from 15-16 to 18-19 with no noticable loss of performance. It is harder to get started, though, no glow plugs. Could be we need to put cetane booster into the mix. At $2.55/gal, we're well motivated to experiment a little.

I saw an article where they were running diesel automobiles of pure vegetable oil. It has to be at 180 degrees before it enters the engine though.

I use 2% bio-diesel in all my tractors. 2% soybean oil & 98 % diesel.

Stupid question - What is biodiesel and how much does it cost a gallon?

Should work just fine, Dave. In fact, it should provide better lubrication to the injection pump and injectors than the straight EPA mandated "nasal friendly" diesel fuel that's chewing up injection pumps now.
