In general, with properly de-watered and de-contaminated WVO when used with a proper two-tank system, WVO will PROLONG the life of your engine. Cut corners on either and you will cut life from the engine. This is from over 30 years of WVO experience.

Could you post a link to thread(s) that describes the proper de-watering and de-contaminating process? Or bump them to the top?
I envisioned running WVO when I got my 300SD, but just don't want to destroy such a fine vehicle. The parts car I have access to, became a parts car because of poorly treated WVO. (low compression and N/G IP)
