Actucally - it reacts exactly like a diesel - I have read about it - and even GM is looking into it (I work for a GM Dealership) and it just gets warm off the Regular Diesel fuel than after a certian temp you can (litterally) flip the switch to vegatible oil. The designers of the kit claims that what ever you cooked last the exhaust will smell like it (sorta). Like diesel - it just compresses it until it spontaniously combusts.

I remeber someone telling me that diesel engines were orignally designed to run on biofuel. Ahh I was correct. The diesel engine was orignally designed to run on peanut oil. Hmm.... I remeber my friend calculated the amount of peanut oil needed to run the entire United States. He said we'd probably need to invade Mexico to plant enough peanuts for our energy needs. (it was a social studies project)

Diesel demonstrated his engine at the Exhibition Fair in Paris, France in 1898. This engine stood as an example of Diesel's vision because it was fueled by peanut oil - the "original" biodiesel. He thought that the utilization of a biomass fuel was the real future of his engine. He hoped that it would provide a way for the smaller industries, farmers, and "commonfolk" a means of competing with the monopolizing industries, which controlled all energy production at that time, as well as serve as an alternative for the inefficient fuel consumption of the steam engine. As a result of Diesel's vision, compression ignited engines were powered by a biomass fuel, vegetable oil, until the 1920's and are being powered again, today, by biodiesel.
