I'll repeat, because this was inconveniently placed right above your post, so you may have missed it:

If my WVO is gelled, that's OK because I start on diesel, and only switch to veg once it's warm enough to flow.

Anectodally, I know 3 people who I have met in person who's IP packed it in within the first week or two of running commercial b50. I haven't met anyone who's had that experience with WVO, and I've met a lot more of them.
