We appear to have a thread like this started every few months.

There are also plenty of threads about cars with motor failures on WVO.
Any claim that WVO has been run for extended time in cars without problems has not been supported by detailed independent studies. There are studies showing the problems that do occur though.

At least these guys admit they are in the biz of doing conversions & so are not providing independent advice.

If you want to put "death in a jug" in your motor, good luck!!!!

WVO may work ok in some limited applications. As far as daily drives & short trips, expect problems down the road.

There is much more to DI problems than just combustion, you may wish to look at high pressure stability as well.
