You could most likely use your existing vehicle with the vegetable oil setup for this. If you heat the WMO to 150 like you do to the VO, it should burn that just as well. Remember the only real problem is making sure your lift/supply pump system maintains adequate supply pressure to the injection pump.

Since you've a 2-tank system already, I assume that means you're starting/stopping on diesel. I find that it's harder to cold start on WMO than regular diesel. I suspect VO is similar.

I haven't heard of anyone with WMO using line heaters and such, but it might work.

The only real problem I have is that the WMO smokes ALOT when the engine is cold, even at a 2:1 blend with diesel fuel. The few times I have cold started on the oil blend, it was like a neverending smoke bomb from the exhaust pipe.

I'm not sure how a DI diesel would start, especially one without glowplugs (i.e. Cummins).
