Oh yes, been there, done that. However it's no good for direct injection 
diesels. And Bio-diesel is basically getting rid of the glycerine, and 
that will only burn if you pre-heat the oil first, which is why you have 
to go through all that. You also lose power because some of the fuel 
produces negligible power

But, having said that I've successfully run my Citroen BX on 50/50 veg 
oil (42p/litre in Tesco as opposed to diesel at 91p/litre at the pump at 
the moment!)
