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. And at shutdown, the car is switched back to diesel until the system is "purged" of any veg oil that might solidify in the primary diesel system.
In other words...if your neighbor wants to run veg oil, he has to be smart enough to HEAT it before he runs it through his fuel system. If he's not smart enough to do that, he's just not smart enough to run the stuff, and deserves whatever ill effects happen to him. That's MY opinion.
