Hello All, I read this study and the one conclussion that really jumped out was: ...Wear in the engines fueled by refined palm oil and diesel oil is not significantly different but wear in the compression rings of the engine fueled by refined palm oil is significantly higher... see:

It is a well known fact in the BioDiesel world that any information you read on journeytoforever.org (JTF) is suspect and needs to be researched better before you take it as fact. Ask the same question on any BioD SVO/WVO forum. I can provide links to them if requested. Luther ~Hello All, ~
