Were any mods required for you to run your Diesel MB on Canola, CP?

All depends on how steep that downgrade is...

You should get this book, there are a number of options.
How much does it cost you for veg oil?
How does the veg oil MPG compare to #2 diesel?
1.07CAD / Liter, diesel is 1CAD, of course I could buy it in bulk
I'm going to take a look at getting the oil used for cattle feed, it's the same as biodiesel
Not sure about that, I haven't noticed any difference, will need to experiment more, if I can get it cheap the MPG won't matter, unless it takes noticably more... cp
7% more for veg oil and that includes no road tax. I wonder what it would cost to by the oil in 55 Gallon drums. Seems to me buying it 1 liter at a time you are paying way too much for the packaging.
