Maybe I should chime in.
I dislike messing with my fuel system, and this is one drawback. Plus, you really need to filter your oil very well. This might be time consuming. And I don't like to install another tank in the trunk, where I have a lot of important stuff . That second tank will have to be heated as well, which I found a bit not so convenient.
Been thinking about running blends WVO/Diesel or WVO/Gasoline . This mean I can keep my fuel system unmodified. But people have found some problems with this too . Things about Wax and parafin clogging up the whole system, filter, injectors, IP .
Then the only thing left is home brew Biodiels . Thing is, it might dissolve rubber seals and all. One immediate problem I would have to deal with, is that this solvent to loosen a lot of deposits over the years in the current fuel tank, and I would have to take out the filter at the outlet of the tank, something I have not learned to do.
