Default Re: Increasing Efficiency of Diesel Engine

I do not think it will effect efficiency. You can run any diesel on veg oil, however this requires a basic conversion kit to be installed. Mainly because the oil in order to combust must be pre-heated first. Veg oil isn't any more or less efficient than diesel, it is just more green and you don't have to pay for fuel.
