I'll stick to biodiesel in all my cars as long as I can continue getting WVO to make it

Yeah I thought so also as grease was referenced. Even so unless it processed into biodiesel properly I wouldn't run it in anything but a $1200 go to work car.

Why not? Most of the fuel I make is filter to a better standard than anything you can find at a pump station. Most people don't realize that your standard fuel filter only goes to 10micron at best. My system is sub micron. Also, I'm not sure if you ever noticed, but pump station nozzles add contaminants to your system because they are always exposed to the air and diesel collects dirt since it is an oil.

Anyway, the worst thing that can happen with WMO (properly done) is excessive coking on the injectors. It may also run hotter, which is my main concern in an om603.
