That is what I said in the post
"Just a thought. The original Diesel was designed to run on Coal dust,
but was quickly swapped for veg oil, then later fossil oil."

5th Gear said peanut oil originally. In their piece about running a car on
chip oil. And then suggested it would run on dripping too without
modification. Wish they'd actually tried it.

They've probably listening to the veggies, or reading wiki.

I thought it was dripping he used right at the end?

Looked *horrible* and he didn't even filter it.

Twas indeed peanut oil. GM / Dupont / Standard Oil were the ones to make the
use of "DERV" oil the standard thing to run them on.

Heh, diesel is a horrible fuel anyway, I'm glad the Xantia doesn't use much
of it.

Probably "hydroganted vegetable oil". Nasty gunk that is cheap and also
tends to be a transfat due to processing so doesn't need mentioning in
"fat" content when anything is fried in it.

There are also some worrying cancer scares involving transfats too.

So... Emptying a big tank of dust into the air intake should give a boost to
power.
Or a tank of custard powder.

I dont have a custard - opps meant oil burner to try this but...
Could someone sprinkle some custard powder into the intake with the filter
removed on any deisel car while its idling please. If the revs rise a
little then it really works... Please someone try it! Report back here.
Pre ignition shouldnt be an issue as I imagine custard is as least as high
octane as propane and that causes no pre ignition issues. Wonder what its
calorific value is? Should be on the tin!

I remember one test involving a push lid tin with a pinhole in the top and
bottom, a tablespoon of talc or custard powder, a good shake, then left over
a flame.

Air / powder mix gets right and boom.
