Which is precisely the point. Veg oil is NOT fuel in its ambient-temperature form.
Just because something will burn in these engines, doesn't mean it's suitable for fuel. Would you burn used motor oil? Some people do.
You need vegoil to be around 180 deg F to match the viscosity of diesel, or use other methods to modify the viscosity, none of which are considered mainstream:

There are literally decades of research on how to use vegoil properly as fuel. Just pouring it into the tank and saying "Hey, it runs" doesn't figure in it.
Lovecraft was a prime example of Total Fail in the technology.
