I guess you mean biodiesel, which is produced from vegetable oils such

but I've never heard about "corn oil".

Corn oil falls into the vegetable oils category and could be used in
biodiesel
production. It's common in American supermarkets and apparently can also
be found in
Britain (since Paul is there).

Yup, along with others such as the rapeseed oil and sunflower oil,
we use it to cook our chips (Fries for the Americans on here).

When "diluted" with some methanol it can be run quite successfully
in diesel cars.
