It will cause problems in a CDI system.

Some one doesnt need to have destroyed an engine to know this basic information.

It is far more of a problem than running WVO in an unmodified diesel system.

compress ignite is correct in his comment.

If you want to prove it, go ahead and try it. I some how dont think any one who goes down that path & messes up their CDI is going to admit their stupidity.
Can you explain the chemical reaction?
