Answer 1

you definitely have to get a conversion kit.  I had a '96 Passat turbo diesel and I miss it so much.  Never let your brother borrow your car folks!

Answer 2

Diesel and straight vegetable oil have a different viscosity.

If you experiment with percentages. It may be possible to add some vegetable oil (cleaned and filtered). You do risk clogging your injectors. ( I wouldn't do it.)

These links give good info.

Answer 3

I don't know about but in the USA the tax should be payed on it.  A diesel motor will even burn lube oil.Make sure it is filtered through a very fine filter . If U don't it can stop up your injectors.

Answer 4

I´m sure not.
