YES, the owner of www.dinofuelalternatives.com has a Ford F-250 that he runs on WVO (Waste Vegetable Oil) that is not processed in any way except filtered. His truck is turning out 490hp @ 2,900rpm and 900ft-lbs of torque @ 2,300rpm with estimated quarter mile times of 13.5 sec. and that is a 3/4 ton truck. He starts the truck with regular diesel until it warms up then is automatically switched to WVO when warm, then switches to reg. diesel before shutting it down. there are many high performance biodiesel and vegetable oil engines so it is definately not a waste of time.
