Might be fine, might not .. who cares, it's a Mitsubishi ...

Why can't your mate ask?
Why doesn't he or you ask a mitsubishi forum?

shogun should be fine on veg oil, mine runs fine on it, make sure you mix it out of the car though or else it can give problems. first couple of hundred miles just use a weak mix of oil/diesel and watch out for the car cutting out first thing in the morning after about 1/2 a mile. if it's ok after a couple of hundred miles then you can increase the strength of your mix

I ran my 2.5 Challenger on WVO for years.
I mixed it 50/50 but always filled up with diesel then added the WVO so that you don't get a welly full going through the engine.
Cold mornings I dropped the ratio back & increased it when it was hot weather.
A few friends commented that they always wanted chip cobs after being driven in mine but I could never smell it.
One tip though don't use diesel cleaner when running WVO, it breaks it down & clogs the filters. Got the T shirt etc....
