Biodiesel is SVO (straight virgin vegetable oil) with the glycerine removed. There are two huge pig fat processors making Biodiesel, one in Utah and one in Washington State.

SVO can be used on IDI diesels at 25%SVO to 75%#2D without preheating. A University study said any more than that, then injector fouling and top ring on the pistons would stick on IDI engines, about 500hrs. A 1996 study so it's was too old for DI engines.

There some people running 150º SVO at 100% in DI diesels. No body has that 250k miles test done for me to risk my $10k DI engine.

WVO (waste vegetable oil) can be filtered very easy to SVO standards, according to some. Most are removing the glycerine from WVO then using it as it saves alot of filtering time. I never found a University study on WVO. Alot of shade tree brewing going on tho.

2% SVO can be added to #1D to equal the lube quality's of #2D, another University study, late 1999.
