Pretty much just stick a decent modern diesel engine in it.

The stuff you buy for 69c will run a diesel, but you'd do better to refine it. http://www.biodieselcommunity.org/ might be a good place to start. Refining takes out the solids (especially from the used stuff) that might otherwise clog your system. They can also be used for making soap and candles etc.
