Using Vegetable oil on an 1981 Mercedes?

Is it possible. This is my first car and it is turbo diesel.
Also do you need to do anything to the engine or can you just pour it in and it will work?
Im not very expereinced with cars as you can tell but any sugestion would be appreciated.

I run it in my 1981 MB as a blend mixed outside of the tank with Jet-A. Search some of my older posts and you should find the process that I've been using for a few years
