Looks like this is the only thing we disagree on....!

I have done many thousands of miles using veggy oil as fuel, in a wide variety of engines. My old 300D has around 50K miles on straight veg still runs great, and is no better or worse than the day I bought it. It has a total of some 350K miles when I dismantled the car, and although the engine is running well and uses very little lube-oil etc, its generally tired and needs re-build. Ill take some piccies when I dissassemble it, although I do know there is around 10 thou or more wear in the bores that you can easily catch your thumb-nail on--, or there was when I first got the car with a leaking exhaust valve, needing head removal......

The secret is to make sure the Engine is Set-Up for it, with regards to Timing and Injectors.--(The Untold Truth about Veggy-Motoring that Most guys Dont know or wont tell ya--Timing is ALL important for Proper Combustion of veggy--Its requirements are different to std pump Diesel. As to Injectors, These MUST be Perfect in every respect. If not, renew them or have them overhauled)

Merely heating the oil with a FPHE or other such device is not sufficient to get the full potential from veggy oil fuel.
