I certainly thought that the link was very interesting and hopefully the graph presented is accurate. I know that Frybrid is well respected and I assume until proven otherwise that they are honest. The graph that I saw from a soybean farmer seemed to show that at 180 deg F that the oil that he had was still pretty thick and not close to No.2 in viscosity.
Certainly, if SVO works for you then by all means continue. For me, Biodiesel made more sense for my situation but YMMV. Thanks for the information.

Frybrid is the company from which I purchased my WVO system. The only item I have replaced is the temperature sensor that sends the signal to the controller that initiates the switchover valve to begin using the vegetable oil fuel system. Frybrid replaced the sensor without question. To those interested the site also contains a multitude of data and information concerning the use vegetable oil as a fuel in diesel engines. I do not have practical experience with any other WVO systems, however I read extensively about the other systems available and decided this was my best option. That said, I am replacing my fuel injection pump on my 84 300D with just over (to the best of my knowledge)300,000 miles on it. I enjoy collecting and using WVO in my Mercedes. I like saving some money, helping the environment in a very small way, the challenge of keeping it working, and most of the all, the smell of veg oil in the morning. It smells like..........well, chicken, shrimp, french fries, or fish. It all depends on where I picked up the oil.
