You will find many users who take WVO (waste vegetable oil) and run it in their diesels.

I run WVO in mine quieter runs smoother better mileage.
I love it

Generally, WVO is much less compatible with the newer high-pressure common rail diesels, like the 6.0 Powerstroke or the Duramax. The 7.3L however will run on just about anything.

I run homebrew biodiesel and have been considering veggie. Given the amount of work required to dewater oil I am opting out of veg. My friend wasted his injectors with a small out of wet oil. $4500 for his 7.3 replacements was enough to spook me. I have been trouble free for 4 years on both my VW's with biodiesel so the new van is getting it's share now.
