So is it legal to use pure WVO as a motor fuel? I think everyone wondering has their answer and it's pretty clear that it's NOT legal.

But, the line according to that same FAQ answer as to when WVO becomes biodiesel is not at all clear. It certainly looks to me that they define biodiesel as WVO with Methanol or Ethanol added for esterfication. So... WVO with a splash of E85 (85% Ethanol) would indeed meet that criterion would it not?

Obviously it's a law the govt. doesn't care to enforce. It says right there they've never once enforced that law. So, if it's not important to the govt. to enforce the law it's probably just a technicality that they like to keep to make themselves feel better about the issue of WVO.

I think as long as WVO users keep the EPA's technicality of adding Ethanol (in this case E85 to WVO), it satisfies the law. Aye?

And NOTE to biodiesel purists, I said satisfies the law.
