There was an engine designed to burn peanut oil. However, it is not under the hood of your car. Yours is designed to burn diesel fuel.

Gasoline and diesel fuels have changed greatly since their inceptions, always being modified to work best in the latest engines. At the same time, the engines are being modified to use modern fuel. You may be able to produce gasoline exactly as it was being sold in the early 20th century, but it would not be advised to run it in a modern engine.
