Is it air or water cooled - will it run on veg oil?

It is air cooled.
Its a Lombardini 15ld315 engine - i'll have a look online to see if it can find any info regarding injector pump fuel lubrication requirements, seal materials etc regarding use with veggie.

Heres a copy of the manual i found online....

page 54 shows the injector pump - i can't see any major reason why something this simple would have any problem running on veggie.

Higher in the manual it says something along the lines of "Use same standard diesel as used in Cars, using other fuels could result in damage". A bit vague.
