YES! purveyors of WVO systems back in the mid 2000's used the word 'easy' as pat of their marketing program. it is not easy, at all. not even a little bit. if it doesn't fascinate and excite you as a project, buy pump diesel. there's nothing wrong with that...2 out of my 3 cars run on pump diesel and i have no plans of that changing.
aside: i homebrewed biodiesel for a while as well. same rules apply. easy to do, hard to do well. that made running WVO look easy by comparison.
