You can get one from Oz thats 125 litres, so you'd have 190 in total. Give a range or 600-700ish on one tankful. Would cost a bit to fill up though!

Apparently peanut oil is the stuff for diesels. The original diesel engine was designed to run on peanut oil (as it was agricultural) and doesn't take much processing to get it ready to go.Not sure how it'd fare in a new common rail diesel engine though?

Yeah, I heard about the peanut thing as well. The biggest problem would be growing the peanuts. They need a warmer climate to grow in, but also, they grow underground. Because they grow underground, it's more effort to harvest them.
