new modern common rail cant run with chip fat as it will just bugger the injectors however i think you can can get systems that can make 10 gallons a day of a version of bio diesel which can run without damage ???? not 100% sure. but im sure that it requires ether methanol or ethanol to thin it down.

your allowed to make a certain amount before HM customs want a slice ( i think its around 1500 ltrs a year )
