Yes, but only if you include a system to pre-heat the oil before it enters the engine. That is, the fuel tank must be heated. You probably need to strain the oil as well to remove particulates before putting it in the tank. As all cooking oil is from plants, it is by default 'bio-diesel' if run in a diesel engine.
