Oft repeated folklore. Whereas it is true that engines run on WVO without the recommended precautions and provisions can suffer damage mid to long term it is simply false to cast blanket aspersions on WVO as a fuel.

While it is wise to avoid such engines if you don't know their history (how the WVO was run) as is the case with the OP, the number of well documented cases of engines run without issues into the 6 digits puts the lie to those WVO put downs.
