Talking of chips (culinary type, not embedded LSIs in ECUs) I did run our 96 Seat 1.9D on 80% raw cooking oil for a couple of months. And it worked very well indeed. And the exhaust had a distinct frying aroma.

If you're going to do this the seek lots of engine specific advice firstly. Don't follow advice from biodiesel produers as they usually have little knowledge of modern diesel injection systems. The Seat we tried was the old VW 1896cc indirect injection non turbo engine with a Bosch rotary pump.

You MUST register with HM Customs and pay duty as well.
