SVO in tractors

Hi!
Has anyone used straight vegetable oil (SVO) in a MF 230? Or any other tractor?
I've found a SVO forum, and basicly what you do is mount an second tank on the truck, tractor etc, have a heating system to heat the oil( most often the coolent line).
start up on normal diesel, wait till the engine's warm, and use a fuel switch to switch to SVO, before you shut down, switch back to normal diesel and wait till the lines, pump etc, have diesel.
I still need to do more research, but it definitely seems promising.
Anyone use biodiesel?
Two side questions.
1, how long is a ford 8n transmission dipstick?and where is the full mark?
2, where are the marks on a MF230 engine oil dipstick (I can't make them out on the stick)
Thanks once again!
