It will work straight but it is thicker than diesel fuel and burns different so it may cause damage to the motor. And you also need 2 seperate tanks becuase you have to start up and shut down on diesel fuel and need to install a warmer on the vegetable oil tank

if you want to run only one tank you need to get a kit that has specal injectors nozzles, and stronger glow plugs and fuel pre heaters

my dads friend just filters the ever living hell out of USED motor oil it dont matter wat its out of but it runs a bit better if u run stuff out of a gas motor he runs it in his dodge 12 valve i heard u can run it in the older 24 valves but not in the 07s cause it has somthing to do with the exhaust sensors that U CANT CHANGE.
