Converting to bio-diesel (or electric for that matter) you will be removing and fabricating a custom powertrain. No small feat and after you spend all that money there is no way you will recoup it by "saving" on gasoline. Performance will probably be even less than you now have, no one will be able to service the car except you or the shop that does the conversion, the car may have little or no resale value, you may have all kinds of problems with the authorities concerning inspection and emissions, and if the car is financed you are not supposed to modify it. Just a few of the considerations BEFORE you go off on this project. For what it's worth, it may not smell like french fries, Chinese restaurants also use a lot of cooking oil so it may smell like Chinese food! It depends on the source of your oil.
