But I don't know about the VWs.
Runs fine on warmed veggie oils. Knew a guy who collected used cooking oil from restaurants, filtered and put in on his Golf MII D.
Need seperate tank, heation coil, and a device to switch from deisel to vegoil when engine har started (on diesel) and runs. Also has to be stopped on diesel. But otherwise no problem. Vegoil mut be warmed to thin it.
