NOPE ! Bad practice! If you burn a triglyceride (veg. oil) in any diesel engine, you end up emitting some (very little) very nasty poisions into the athmosphere! The glycerine present in any incomplete combustion tends to help produce acroline, aldehyde, and a whole bunch of other nasties. Tech.Univ. Munich is running a large study on this problem at present.
That is, why it makes sense to replace the glyc. with a single alcohol like methanol or ethanol. And that is also, why the dreaded quality standards make some ecological sense (at least to some extend) in as far as the set standards for the completness of the replacement or in other word for the purity of the fuel product obtained. Happy Bding, anyway. Camillo Holecek Biodiesel Raffinerie GmbH and DonauWind GmbH&Co KG, Austria -----UrsprŸngliche Nachricht----- Von: Neoteric Biofuels Inc.

That is quite possible to do and you have the right crop and situation for it.
