There are those of us that run WVO successfully and I am sure that there are some that do not. Boeing builds aeroplanes and has done so for many years, but... they are having problems with their new 787. They put their heads together and solve the problems just like they have always done.
We run WVO, some have problems and overcome them and some have problems and say never again.
I had a post on here about "Black Death" in my diesel tank, yes I have a WVO tank but that was not where the problem was. I posted on this Forum asking about eliminating the in tank fuel filter as there 2 more filter down the line before the IP. I was attacked by the Wrestling Tag team of Layback40 and W124 E300D because I was using WVO. My problem was in the Diesel tank not the WVO tank. I eliminated the in tank filter and washed out the diesel tank with gasoline, added clean diesel, and BioPor and have had to change out the primary clear filter 3 times and the car is running fine now. I have saved enough money using WVO to purchase 2 of these 300SD's in the last 2 years and I paid good money for my 300SD. I change my engine oil and filter every 3k miles and have BlackStone do and oil analysis just to know what is happening with my engine. But it is after all my engine and I can do with it what I want. People have looked at my car and the comment is always "What a beautiful machine and how do you keep the engine so clean?"
Cars break down and it is a challenge sometimes to figure out what has caused this and sometimes you never come up with a definitive answer and sometimes its only a guess.
How do you think we got to this point in our lives, EXPERMINTATION, without expermintation where would we be. Shoveling horse s### is where we would be.
You guys that want to run diesel go ahead I won't argue with you just so long as you don't argue with me about WVO.
Don't use Bio D in your diesel tank if you run WVO, I didn't learn this on my own I learned it from someone who did run Bio D and WVO and had a mess in the WVO tank. Things we have learned about WVO over time are:
1. Don't uses a steel tank use plastic, aluminum, or stainless steel
2. Don't use copper anywher near WVO
3. Get the WVO up to 160oF before the IP
The above first 2 items were commonly used and probably caused many problems during the infancy of the WVO movement.
There were other individuals on this forum that attacked people about the use of WVO and they have been banned from this and other forums for those actions. Lets just live and let live. This thread started as a "will WVO ruin my car" thread and the answer is yes but so will running it on D#2 or for that matter, will just letting it sit unused.
