USA
At the University of North Dakota, they had a grant to see if a MODIFIED vegetable oil could be made to run in a tractor diesel and it could. Well I should put it this way...
Raw crude isn't used for anything except to refine stuff from it so the vegetable oil, although much more refined than raw crude, still had to be modified. I wasn't aware what they actually did as I just repaired their gas chromatographs. I think it was sunflower oil.
