300D Veggie Oil

it's

Search this group for discussions about it. There's nothing absolutely required to pour vegetable oil into your tank and start using it for fuel, but there are a considerable number of gotchas, the seriousness of which vary depending on how handy you are.

There are a ton of different conversions, although none of the ones offered for sale in the US (maybe that's a big assumption?) are truly complete. A company called Elsbett in Germany makes replacement injectors which take it all the way home. A local shop had a kit from them that someone else was going to have installed, and it looked pretty trick.

That said, I've been running 30-60% soybean oil from Costco in my car with its totally stock fuel delivery system, a '79 300TD, and it's been running pretty well although I definitely notice it's slightly less powerful on the stuff, and a "thick" mix makes it a bit tougher to start in the mornings (those chilly San Diego mornings where it's a chilly 40 degrees F! heh).
