Vegetable oil

Greetings new guy here. Ive got a 02 f350, 7.3L Power Stroke. i just recently learned its possible to run 100% vegetable oil in diesel's. Im sure this is a beatin topic. But if someone can brief me on whats involved in using it. Obviously, you cant just fill your gas tank with it and take off. Or can you?

Re: Vegetable oil

Plenty of info in the forum. Shouldn't need to go back more then a month or two to get all of your basic questions answered.

Secure WVO source.
Filter/dewater WVO.
Heat WVO to at least 150*.
Use instead of diesel.

This is the bare bones version, but gives you the basic facts.
