fuel is a distillate, so it has a small amount of very heavy stuff that never
burns properly.

Ship diesels use really crappy fuel, barely rates as #2 most of the time.

Peanut oil, but the tolerances have been a lot tighter for the past
30-70 years and pumps made to run on petro diesel do not necessarily
run at max efficiency on used veg oil..

Yes, coal dust was the first fuel attempted. However, none of his
engines produced significant power on coal dust, and he quickly
realized that handing powder for fuel wasn't going to work.

Gel point is vastly different for #2 diesel and vegetable oil -- #2
has a pour point as low as -30F, and I doubt veggie oil, particularly
used veggie oil, will be fluid enough to pour at 10 F, let along
-30. Not all #2 has a pour point that low, but it can.
There are two larger problems, f
d "free the
farmer".
In fact Nitske indicates that many fuels were attempted before settling on what
we now call diesel fuel...

Since Mercedes and Bosch didn't "re-invent" the diesel engine they only
optimized it to accept schedule 52 diesel as the common fuel there seems to
be an element of confusion.

You go right ahead and get yourself an engine designed by Ruddy, the engine in
my car (and probably the one in yours) was designed and built to use #2 diesel.
So, does your state law allow you to drive on public roads without paying your
fare share of fuel tax?

Coal dust, then peanut oil.
What did Mercedes and BOSCH design this engine to run on though?
There will also be a test.

Been following this thread for a few days now and have ONE question to the
"don't use WVO team.
What did Mr. Diesel design the diesel engine to run on originally?
There will be a test later, so answer carefully.

I would be a long way toward convinced WVO is Ok if someone would do before and
after engine oil analysis (with the fuel as the only variable), but haven't
found a WVO proponent willing to indulge me yet.

*I guess the best way to test the dueling hypotheses on the engine killing
vs. engine cleaning properties of WVO would be to use a throwaway 300D one
buys for no more than $300 a a guinea pic. Such examples of driveable rust
buckets probably wouldn't be that hard to find.*

Wow! You do like to gamble!!!
WVO, unheated - there seems to be enough data to suggest this
isn't low-risk.
Using ether in an pre-chamber engine is akin to Rus
