A diesel car will run on veg oil. The problem is in cold weather as it thickens or solidifies. The solution is bio diesel.

I've heard of vehicles running on chip shop oil but assumed it had to be processed/refined or added too in some way, white spirit makes more sense but wouldn't have thought it that much cheaper. Someone I knew used to filter the old oil through a pair of tights, lol

With the chip oil it would be vaguely amber? On a serious note I once worked with a Glaswegian alcoholic who did drink surgical spirit occasionally diluted with Diamond White. I’ve worked with alcoholics in the past as a carer, some very iffy moments including suicidal. A chap so bad with alcoholism he lost the power to walk and landed up in a wheel chair. I would arrive at his flat and he would be on the floor crying begging for help. Turns out we used to drink together back in the 80s, I never realised this until much later. The mess I’ve seen would open your eyes to say the least. Amber=whisky.
