Most diesels will run on vegetable oil after some modification. The specialist company here in the UK is Veg Oil motoring.
But as Rooster says, you can't just pour it in and hope for the best.

No, it would just be an oil! It has to refined to use for fuel. I don't think it would even work as motor oil as it doesn't have the right viscosity. No, that's not going to work at all. What's going to make combustion for it to fire ? Has to be refined first.
I've tried it on a 1992 BMW 524 turbo diesel and it worked with a few modifications but I heard it's not good for the engine.
