RE: Mixing Veg Oil with Diesel to power a generator
In a diesel engine, it can be used on it's own but the oil tends to be too thick and clogs the injectors and cannot be atomised. if the oil is hotter it is less viscous so will flow better.

Older engines will run better the oil. I think the ratio is meant to be a 20% diesel/petrol and 80% veg oil.

You could also have the two tank system where the oil is heated before it is used.

That is all I know!
Failure is always an option.
