It'll run fine, or so your ear will think. I don't recommend running any mix of vegetable oil in a diesel. There are no long term studies (100,000mi or more) that give veg oil a green light. All the studies have shown injector coking and buildup on the rings and prechambers. There is a good reason it needs to be made into biodiesel.
