I honestly cant speak for what it might do to your injection pumps, since I dont own any diesels at the moment... I havent used the WVO (Waste Veggie Oil) in anything, but I did lots of research into it while I was doing stuff in college and afterwards for our farm. My concern would be that you are mixing it with your other fuels, and you will run into a gelling problem at relatively high temperatures. You could solidify the WVO in your fuel lines, injectors, and pump, and that would do a number on them for sure.... I know there is a company that makes equipment for autos and trucks that routes a coolant line through a separate storage tank. Once the engine warms up the WVO, you flip a switch and run on the straight oil. Before you shut down, you switch back to diesel to clear the lines so you can start the next day (www.greasecar.com) Just my thoughts, maybe someone else has some actual first hand experience with it.
