| | Vegetable oil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The majority of European rapeseed oil production is used to produce biodiesel, or used directly as fuel in diesel cars which may require modification to heat the oil to reduce its higher viscosity. | | | Although in principle other parts of plants may yield oil, in practice seeds form the almost exclusive source. | | | palm kernel oil - from the seed of the African palm tree |

| | Straight Vegetable Oil |
| | It is possible to use unmodified vegetable oils as a neat fuel for diesel engines within certain limitations. | | | In addition, these oils are much higher yielding crops than those found in colder climates because they can be harvested many times throughout the year. | | | Although the fuel injection system is designed for petroleum diesel, similar results can be found if the viscosity of the oil is lowered to nearly that of diesel fuel. |

| | Vegetable Oil—The New Fuel? |
| | The chemically modified vegetable oil developed by the researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture complements the growing shift to biodiesel, a vegetable oil-based fuel that can be used as a replacement for petroleum diesel in any diesel engine. | | | All of the carbon dioxide emitted as the biodiesel burns is used to grow the plants that produce the vegetable oils. | | | Unlike petroleum-based products, vegetable oils are biodegradable, nontoxic, and are derived from a renewable resource. |

| | Straight vegetable oil as diesel fuel: Journey to Forever |
| | Vegetable oil can be used as diesel fuel just as it is, without being converted to biodiesel. | | | Vegetable oil also has very different chemical properties and combustion characteristics from those of conventional diesel fuel. | | | That it's "untreated" is a myth -- most oils have to be de-gummed, deacidified, and usually winterized, it also involves chemical treatments, and there are centralized factories in Europe that process fuel-grade vegetable oil, much the same as for food-grade oils. |
