Has anyone had any problems using vegetable oil as a rust preventative in a pressure vessel with hydrocarbon liquids?

Yes, it doesn't work.
Some veg oils dry, some don't, and all of them will be somewhat hydroscopic.

Will the veg oil have any reaction to the hydrocarbon liquids?
 
Depends on the hydrocarbon, some will.
