best_answer

The cooking oil is not used as a fuel like petrol because of the following reasons:

  1. Too thick- The cooking oil is much thicker than petrol, which makes it difficult to flow and burn properly in the engine.
  2. Do not burn easily- The petrol evaporates and burns quickly, and the cooking oil needs high temperatures to ignite.
  3. More smoke and pollution- The burning of cooking oil produces more smoke and harmful gases compared to petrol.
