Follow the many links and the process is explained.
When the melted plastic begins to vaporize it is actually breaking off hydrocarbon chains of varying lengths. These are called fractions. The lighter ones (methane ethane propane butane etc.) are recycled back into a burner to keep the process going. These amount to about 10 to 15 percent of the total output. This process is self propelling. Once it is started it can keep itself going under the heat from its own products. The heavier fractions, from 10 to 24 carbon chains, are in the range of diesel 1, diesel 2, kerosene, jp4, and other light oils, all of which can be used in a diesel engine. Anything longer than 24 carbons precipitates out as bunker oils, motor oils, and heavier paraffins and heavy waxes. They are separated out and put back into the chamber for further fractioning. One video shows a guy who has figured out the correct temperature range for both heating the feedstock and cooling of the vapor to maximize the output of diesel fuel fractions. Anything lighter heats the process and anything heavier gets put back into the pot. Some of these commercial grade processes can process 30 to 50 tons of plastic a day. 1 kilogram of plastic can reasonably be expected to yield a liter, + or -, of diesel useable fuel. This could be the next major cottage industry.

Is there a video showing how to do it? I wonder how much energy it takes to convert plastic to oil.
