not to mention having to drop the tank to clean the pick up screen. Always filter your wvo before putting it into your truck . trust me its not going to plug with a 1/4 tank i always filter to 5 microns . I would never run wmo in my engine just send it to the hm recycling center .

Unless you are set up to preheat the oil I wouldn't run veggie oil. I ran veg oil in my '98 12-valve up to 60-70% in the summer when cut with quite a bit of gasoline to thin it down but even then I found out it was coking my injectors pretty bad. I never ran any veg oil in the cooler or cold months. The deposits on the tips were very hard and took some scraping to remove. I think when it comes to this you can get away with it easier on a 24-valve with the higher injection pressures & better atomization but even then I wouldn't do it without a preheating setup & 2-tank system.
