Take your glycerine and get out!
As I understand it, the process that biodiesel goes through is to remove the glycerine. In WVO the glycerine still exists and does not exit the engine after the combustable part of WVO combusts. With no where to go, the glycerine builds up in the engine, and eventually will lead to engine failure. Maybe short term or long term, most agree that wvo is not the best for your vehicle, but the processed WVO aka biodiesel is nothing but a benefit to it. I have heard of many WVO engines failing after 20K or so miles. I don't think they would have had the same results had they used processeed WVO. Maybe it was the age of the engine to begin with, but I prefer to praise the processed biodiesel.
This info comes from having discussed the difference with the owner of a biodiesel production company in GA who produces millions of gallons a year of biodiesel from WVO or yellow grease.
