I am using the stock tank selector valve for my WMO/diesel blend and haven't had any problems. I don't think the increased viscosity is an issue for the valve, especially if you are preheating the tank.

I don't believe preheating the diesel fuel will do any harm either. I have heard some rumors that heating diesel fuel actually helps have more complete combustion. I think most of the VO guys recommend heating to only about 150*F though, so you may want to consider thermostat control for your heaters.

I am not sure how well the VO will blend with diesel fuel either, someone who's using it will have to chime in with that information.
