This applies to all IDI diesels.
The 6.2L/6.5L can burn WVO and SVO unmodified if you cut in at lower concentrations during warmer weather. Some people have good luck running 2 tanks of fuel.
Propane and natural gas can be added to the intake air, they are said to help burn up SVO/WVO.
Fumigation can be used to increase fuel milage and increase power.
You will have to be careful with propane and turbochargers. Its recomended that you cut off the propane above some where around 5psi.
Natural gas has much better resistance to detonation.
Alcohol can be ran in the engine with a water injection system and can boost power and fuel economy.
Methanol has best resistance to detonation and is cheapest.
