Would a KIA run on vegetable oil?

For Earth day I was thinking of getting my parents to switch the car to running on vegetable oil. Are there any guiudes for kias?Would a KIA run on vegetable oil?
If it's a diesel, it could be rigged to run on Bio-Diesel, which is based on vegetable oil.





I would NOT just go pour Mazola into their tank though. They'll be pissed.Would a KIA run on vegetable oil?
Yes it can as long as the Kia has a diesel engine in it.........





The Kia would have to be converted over and you would need to check if one is available for it.





When bio-diesel gets cold ... just like the bottle of vegetable oil in your refrigerator ... it turns gel-like. It won't flow. A fuel that won't flow below 32掳 doesn't do a driver in Duluth any good in December. The fuel also has issues at high temperatures, when it tends to oxidize, a process that releases acids into the fuel and forming deposits that can clog the fuel system.





Additionally, because the fuel is actually derived from a food, microbes can grow in it. Compared to petrol-based diesel, the bio-fuel absorbs water more easily, and water isn't good for engines or combustion.
You are talking about bio-fuel and you need a vehicle that has a diesel engine to run bio-fuel. Cars don't run on vegetable oil, you have to mix it properly with small amounts of high octane gas.
It's not that simple, the oil has to be refined, and can only be used if the engine uses diesel fuel, If you place oil in a gas engine, It could ruin the engine.
If it's deisel, Yes, if gasoline, NO








whiskeyman is actually incorrect, pure veg oil will run perfect in a diesel engine with NO modifications...





the recycled stuff has to be filtered....
yes, on vegetable oil, on puppy love or flowers aroma
the exhaust might smell like fried chicken.
Do it only if you want them to change car... because it will blow up!
