Well, there is evidence for both sides of the argument.

What I see is that People that do their Homework and do everything possible to make sure their Car runs OK on WVO do OK. The people that just dump the WVO into the tank and think every thing is OK because the Engine runs quieter have a good chance of having issues on down the road. And, on top of that there is Climate issues. Another way to look at it is that it is possible to get a Bad Tank of Diesel Fuel; and, that Fuel is supposed to be engineered to burn in Diesel Engines. It must be even more possible to get a bad Tank Full of WVO because you never know what the WVO is made if.

It's these kind of stunts that give WVO a bad name.
First off: it's on television. Television is for entertainment. Watch the Mythbuster guys. (They are not real scientists, they only play scientists on TV.) When their sudo-science approach is not entertaining enough, they just throw it out the window and do something that is entertaining. My kids would ask to eat at McDonald's. I told them that if they eat McDonald's food they would die. Remember the journalist who ate every meal at McDonald's for a month. At the end of the month his health had deteriorated quite a bit. What they did in that video was like going to McDonald's for one meal. It won't kill you and will probably have no long term effect on your health. If they did that every day, the car would suffer a premature death. Carbon impacted piston rings most likely.
