Introduction
Diesel engines can be converted to straight vegetable oil. Problems can occur with some engine types when operated for extended periods at idle or low load as vegetable oil does not burn well in these conditions. Suitable engine modifications along with attention to fuel quality, ambient temperatures and operating regime generally avoids these issues.
Quality Biodiesel, which is typically a modified vegetable oil, in part does not suffer from these effects to the same degree although some engine/oil type/ambient conditions can cause similar problems.
