Not veg oil but properly processed Bio should be OK.
I ran mine exclusively on bio for a while as I work next door to the plant producing it and we got a substantial discount on an already cheap fuel.
They had to stop selling it as it became uncommercial for them to continue and they now only run their own fleet on it.
I had no problems at all but now have very uneven idling and haven't yet discovered the cause but it may possibly hark back to bio use.
Veg oil is very bad for HDi engines.
