Vegetable oil can be used as fuel in a biodiesel mix or pure in diesel cars equipped with a conversion kit or double tank. Waste vegetable oil (WVO) or used vegetable oil (UVO), often retrieved from restaurants, can be used after filtering. The process of making biodiesel, also called transesterification, mixes vegetable oil, alcohol and sodium hydroxide to create a usable fuel.

Cars with diesel engines equipped with a conversion kit can use filtered cooking oil or grease as fuel instead of (or in combination with) gas. Vegetable oil can be used alone whether it is pure or waste oil. Using vegetable oil can reduce the amount of fossil fuel needed in a car. This is different from using biodiesel, which has to be modified before each use. Vegetable oil does not have to be modified, but requires a conversion kit that uses two tanks, one with diesel fuel and one with vegetable oil.

Cars the run on vegetable oil work just like any other car except that they burn a fuel that comes right from the deep fryer and is strained through a simple filter. The reason they can run on vegetable oil is in how the engine works. Unlike a combustion engine, which is powered by an explosion in the piston chamber, a car that runs on vegetable oil is a converted diesel engine, that is compression-driven. That means there is no spark to ignite the fuel. Instead the engine compresses the fuel and causes it to explode, without an electrical spark.
