I was burning up to 50% WVO / petro D in my 6V92 bus engine when one piston stopped. I do not think it had anything to do with the SVO, but it cost me $12,000 and 6 weeks hard work to install a used replacement motor. I can find $500 to fill the tank (on a good day) but cannot risk the motor with alternate fuels. I would burn Bio diesel in a heart beat.
BTW if you are going to burn WVO why not set up a wash tank to take out any water soluble contaminants such as sugar and salt?.
