If the oil isn't properly heated before it goes in, it doesn't atomize properly or burn completely. It ends up forming a gummy substance that makes the piston rings stick and causes the engine to lose compression. There is also the matter of the excessive viscosity causing higher stresses and faster wear in the injection pump and injectors. We've also seen corrosion issues but I'm not sure if those happen with new veg oil or only with WVO.

Ask Cooljjay about the effects of veg on an engine.
