6.0 L cooking oil conversions?

Has anyone heard of a bolt on conversion kit to allow the use of cooking oil as an alternative fuel for the 6.0L PS? I understand that with the cooking oil system the vehicle becomes a duel fuel vehicle with extended range and best fo all the cost pergallon of used cooking oil is pennies on the dollar, depending who you can convince to give it to you. I met a guy with a cooking oil conversion kit installed on his VW Passat ... sounds like an alternative to $2.40/gallon diesel fuel? Does Anyone have informaton on such a conversion kit for the Ford PS 6.0 L engine?

I would love to find this out also. I have read on another a guy was putting a mix in his truck of wvo/diesel/methanol. Think his ratio was 80/15/5 he claimed to have been doing this for 5 years with no problems. Except for jelling in the winter.

greasel.com for kit to run waste veggie oil.
In the long run you are better of making or buying a biodiesel still and making refined biodiesel.
Better for the injectors and you can sell it to other diesel owners as it goes straight into the tank with no mods.

They don't make a kit for the 6.0 PSD, these injectors don't like veggie. Has to do with composition of veggie oil.
