There are millions (that's a wild guess) of people worldwide that run their diesels on biodiesel, WVO and/or SVO. They've been doing it for a long time and they're perfectly happy with it.
I say that if you haven't tried running alternative fuels in your diesel, you probably don't have the experience needed to talk bad about it.

I'd rather not get into this debate yet again, but you are wrong.
The ORIGINAL Diesel engine was indeed designed to run on peanut oil.
The 617, 616, 603, or whichever other Diesel engine in your Mercedes Benz was NOT designed to run on peanut oil. It was designed to run on #2 Diesel fuel. This is not a difficult concept to understand.
Come talk to me about alternative fuels when you have reached a quarter-million miles on home-brewed fuel with no injection pump failure or clogged injectors, and I will subsequently eat my words. In other words, the proof is in the pudding.
