What car runs best on used cooking oil?

Ive been told german cars are better but does anyone do this already? Do you have to make any modifications?What car runs best on used cooking oil?
any as long as its a diesel engine.What car runs best on used cooking oil?
Diesels in general.


Without modifications you cannot run on pure cooking oil as it tends to be too thick and sometimes does not lubricate as well as diesel.


You have to declare what amounts you use to HMRC and pay fuel duty on it. They catch people doing this by roadside tank dipping tests and by the fact that when running the car smells like a chippy
When making bio Diesel by using used cooking oil (for diesels only) The glycerin should be removed from the oil so you wont fowl your pump or filters. Then you need to do a titration test to make sure your fuel has the right acidity and burn rate. This can be done by adding lye. and no you don't need modifications to run bio Diesel. there is a kit made by fuel shark to do all of this its about 200$
Have a look at http://www.vegetableoildiesel.co.uk/foru鈥?/a>





You'll need to filter the fuel carefully, and only use it in warm weather (unless you fit a fuel heater, or a twin-tank fuel system).





The best engines are indirect-injected diesels, such as the old Peugeot XUD engines or 1990s Mercedes-Benz engines.


Modern injection systems run much tighter tolerances, so are less forgiving of different fuels.
If you cant afford to buy a tank of fuel for your car, You should buy a bus pass.
