Diesel engines can also be run on biodiesel, from stuff like recycled and filtered chip fat / cooking oil etc; although I hear that its best used as a mixture rather than straight and don't use it in winter.

Yes I know of a few guys who regularly run their land rovers on old chip fat.
Not something I would choose to do (at the moment!) ...........

I can think the problem in that may be in the filtering process, also people may be driving around using up their precious diesel to get used cooking fat etc to recycle to make more, we have a saying round here " spend a shilling to save sixpence!"

You also tend to smell like a fish and chip shop and leave a big cloud behind you wherever you go.
With the filtering, they have that sussed and in winter they add a bit of petrol to thin it, but I'm sure its not good for the engine in the long term.
They also use old engine oil.
