The motor was designed to run on diesel, diesel will not harm a motor.
Im not trying to be a prick, im just telling you what I think from what I have seen in the past......

Why do you say it was veggie oil gunk in the injectors, what leads you think that ?
I am trying to reconcile the disparity between my experiences with veggie and what other people say.
Diesel fuel will carbon up the injectors and rings.
If you let a diesel coked injector go long enough it will coke up a ring and score the cylinder walls.
I am not trying to be a prick either.
Every case I have seen has come down to poor maintenance and not the fuel type. But the veggie gets the blame, not the poor maintenance.
If a car runs diesel 200,000 miles and gets low compression reading people blame maintenance.
If the car ever runs veggie they blame the oil, not improper maintenance,
despite the mileage ran on diesel.
