I've been able to find info on the internet about biodiesel for use in diesel engines, but I was curious if anyone knew if vegetable or corn oil could be refined in any way and used as a fuel for an unleaded car engine.
Answer
Wncan47, the person was asking about FUEL, not lubricants. Corn is mostly used in the states to make ethanol, some stations use 10 percent in gas, which all vehicles can use. The highest is e85. 85 percent ethanol, for use in flex fuel vehicles.... note Brazil makes they're from sugar cane. A diesel can be converted to run off straight cooking oil (veg oil, canola, etc. that's used in frying) OR the oil can be converted through a bunch of processes to be turned into bio diesel. Which can be used without conversion (you may see diesel pumps, and then bio diesel pumps at gas stations)

I have been working on building a lawn mower or car engine. I can't seem to find a website that can help me.
Answer
best yo start with a lawnmower engine to start getting down the basics. Hereis a Briggs and Stratton Website that somewhere in it has the engine's parts breakdown:

Then there is a website called How Things Work or something like that. And you can surf that for lots of engie info.
Good Luck
