yup, go get one of those stationary single piston air injected peanut oil powered motors and try and drive your car...
The diesel engine was designed to run on available peanut oil for the farmer to have fuel to do work on the farm...
THIS diesel engine was designed to operate on the petroleum fuel sold in fuel stations, and the pump and injectors were designed to burn it.

other fuels will run in this motor, but they need additional additives, maintenance, filtering, etc to work properly in THIS motor.
