Default Running Diesel engine on vegetable oil

Can modern direct injection diesel engines run on vegetable oil ?

I read a Golf Plus brochure the other night. It indicated that the diesel
engine can only run on normal diesel fuel.

My old 97' Sharan TDI seems to run better with 5% to 20% SVO depending on
temperature.

Does anyone have any views on this subject ?


I'm pretty sure that Revenues & Customs will have very strong views on the
subject if you don't pay duty on your additives!

The Golf brochure is warning that VW diesel engines do not take kindly to
Biodiesel.
