How hard is it to convert a diesel to cooking oil?

i think it can double the horse power, is that true?How hard is it to convert a diesel to cooking oil?
It is not easy to do this.


There are two major ways:


1. Add an additional tank so the car starts up on petro-diesel, but switches over to VO after the engine is warm, and switches back just before shut-down.


2. Add in-tank heaters (in the fuel tank) and additional heaters near the IP.


Elsbett is probably the best known conversion kit.





As you can see, this is extensive modification to your vehicle, voids the warranty, etc., so I wouldn't do it to a new vehicle. Plus, many mechanics will refuse to work on your engine.


You also probably need to swap out the glow-plugs and make other minor modifications.





Also, unless you buy virgin oil (expensive), you'll need some shop space to set up a process for cleaning/drying the oil if it's reclaimed from restaurants.





I've never heard the claim that it doubles the horsepower.How hard is it to convert a diesel to cooking oil?
Why would anyone convert diesel to cooking oil?





Cooking oil to diesel is easy, pumps are found at Home Depot type stores and the filters are basically panty hose, 3 steps in the process to filter the oil down to about 1 micron is nice.





Next is to convert the auto to accept the fuel, a heater to heat the oil to the temp before the engine take it in.





I did enjoy the ponderings of converting diesel to cooking oil, radical dude, radical.
I don't know about what it does to your horsepower, but you can buy the kits for it online and its usually fairly easy to do.
LOL, I doubt it, but if you go to some fast food joints you will find that they are one and the same.
