This is for biodieselFor anyone who doesnt know, biodiesel is a product made from vegetable oil. making it involves using lye to cause a simple chemical reaction which removes glycerites from the oil, leaving two by-products - glycerin and biodiesel. biodiesel is basically oil that has been made less viscous and more solvent. you can run it straight in any diesel engine. on older diesels, there are two caveats: you may need to look for any hoses made of natural rubber, and biodiesel will corrode them faster that petro-diesel, and simply replace them with synthetics. easy to do yourself and cheap to pay a mechanic for too. and, if petro-diesel has left deposits in the fuel lines, biodiesel can loosen them, and they may clog your fuel filter a few times. learn to change it and keep a spare in the trunk. its easy, not much different than changing your oil. after changing hoses to synthetic, and maybe a new fuel filter or two, your old diesel should be fine on biodiesel or petrodiesel, whichever you put in.How much does it cost to change an engine to use vegetable oil? This is for biodieselVeggie oil, diesel, they won't work in a gasoline engine, because these fuels are ignited by heat and pressure, not by spark.
So instead of modifying your gasoline engine, you have to swap it out for a diesel one.
Unless Ford or Honda makes a diesel version of your car, there won't be an off-the-shelf bolt-on solution that will fit under the hood and mate up with the transmission or transaxle without some modifications.
So you're looking at some custom fabrication...sorry I have no idea how much that would run ya, but I have serious doubts as to it's economic feasibility.
