He probably means a diesel truck that has been adapted to use waste vegetable oil. I don't know how it is in Brazil but in the States we have lots of food deep fried, and the oil has to be changed once in a while. A truck converted to use veggie oil (waste or virgin) will have a tank equipped with a heating system to warm the oil, as well as heated fuel lines to keep the fuel hot all the way into the injection pump, and a small auxiliary tank for starting and ending with pure diesel fuel. I understand it's pretty much impossible to start a modern engine on vegetable oil but once everything is hot it works well.
