Again, not adding up.
Obviously not as clean as it could have been. Some types of foods can leave behind high glycerine content and acids in the oil that is very hard to filter out without chemical processing, even then it's always possible to get a bad batch.

If the car was running and driving well before the WVO, and the IP was damaged while running the WVO, there was something about that batch that was not injection-pump friendly. There could have even been some sort of chemical reaction between something in the WVO and any residual diesel left in the fuel system, or the viscosity of the WVO being high enough that the IP starved for lubrication. Hard to tell...
