Just a view from South Africa - here biodiesel is priced as just below
regular diesel so its not worth it ( energy density is some 10 % less ) +
its quality is dubious. WVO is arround a third of the price of diesel here

Properly finalized biodiesel is pure, no water, methanol, or NaOH/KOH.

Just like with WVO, most home-brew biodiesel systems don't work
properly, and aren't really producing ASTM D6751 Biodiesel. The only
way to know is with a lab test, and we really need a cheap non-profit
testing service so that home-brewers can have a quantitative way to

I have seen plenty of research showing WVO systems operating for long
periods, without serious engine wear, and other studies showing major
engine wear in short periods of time. I really don't think there's
anything inherently wrong with WVO, other than it being extremely
difficult to build

Thanks for that valuable info , will recommend to friend to check

Peter,
Intermittent missing can be a sign of weak compression on a particular
cylinder. Cover your bases and do a compression test or, better yet, a
leak down test if you have the equipment. Prior to checking
compression, make sure valve lash has been set properly for all valves.

A friend of mine brought his W123 300D ( Non turbo ) to me to try and sort
out his intermittent idle problem. - Usually the engine purrs nicely but
then every now and then the idle speed drops and engine runs roughly. When
this occurs I isolated the problem to #1 cyl - ( by disconnecting each fuel
