The auxiliary tank used to be the rule at least until 2010 when Volkswagen released a version of the Polo fitted with electric pre-heating of the fuel, and in few years this became the prefered approach. I don't remember if any new car still has this tank.

Blending is easiest both with vegoil and ethanol, no need for expensive conversions
Blending is easier with ethanol than with veg oil. At least when it comes to compatibility with emissions control devices which has been more critical on Diesels.
