Re: Take your glycerine and get out!
Wow. I'll make sure to let you know when I hit that magic 20,000 mile mark.
Let's see: 20,000 miles @ 20 MPG = 1,000 gallons of WVO (my mileage is worse, but if I were good at math I'd have gone to medical school).
I'm not sure exactly how much glycerine is in a gallon of WVO, but assuming it's 10%, that would be 100 gallons of glycerine building up in a 7.3 liter engine. No wonder those engines were totaled out.
Now I've got to worry about my turbo getting clogged with soap!!!
I better start paying your friend in GA for that Bio-D now.
On a more serious note, have you ever SEEN or TALKED to the OWNER of a WVO powered vehicle with coking or other engine damage? Now a post by one of those folks would be truly helpful.
I think PSDs are more likely to suffer cavitation damage from improperly maintained SCA levels than to coke up from WVO. At least there is a documented history of cavitation damage to go along with the convincing theory of how it occurs.
I was thinking of offering a reward: $100.00 for information leading to a recorded interview with an owner of a pre-heated WVO powered vehicle who suffered engine damage.
I'll pay for it with profits from selling my mail-order snipe calls.
