I am 53....saw an old movie in the early sixties about an Island in the South Pacific in WWII that was being invaded by the Japenese. A priest in charge of an orphanage on the Island had to evacuate the kids to the other side of the island using an old diesel bus so the US Navy could pick them up.
They had no fuel so he ran the bus on Coconut Oil that he extracted in a boiler he rigged in back of the bus. The boiler was fired up by burning the coconut husks. I was impressed then....and I believe the movie was based on a true story!
