No need to look it up. Spill some diesel on a tile floor and walk on it. Do the same with WVO and see which one will land you on your butt.

Properly filtered WVO should have no water or acids. I never leave WVO in the IP for long. Always flush with diesel before shutdown overnight. 8 years now with no WVO related engine problems
