You can't talk about it here, because it's against Federal law to remove or tamper with an emissions device. Its not state by state or if you get tested / inspected or not - remove it, andyou're in violation of Federal law.
If you want a truck that is no longer legal to drive on a public street, road, or highway and will have no recourse to warranty repair, by all means, put a tuner on it & remove the DPF. Just remember, YOU did it, so any fines or repairs are on YOUR dime.
As to running straight VO in a common rail injection system, I sure as hell wouldn't with or with out tunes (and that includes blending, ATF, WMO or anything else that doesn't have the same specific gravity & visocosity as diesel fuel). Now biodiesel, on the other hand...just make sure its fresh & meets ASTM standards. If you make it yourself, be totally ANAL about your QC, wash & DRY it before use. Also, don't use any "conditioner" that has alcohol in it. Alcohol absorbs water, and any water that makes it to the injectors will flash into the most corrosive thing known to man - high pressure steam. Takes out injectors in very short order. Dyed diesel is also up to you. Just be aware the penelties for tax evasion & fraud can be steep (the government hates competition).
Its your truck, do what you want to with it.
