I can't stress enough to not use WVO or SVO conversion kits. Burning either in an engine releases large amounts of glycerides into the air, since Glycerine is only combustible at a temperature much higher than most engines reach. Doing your own BD conversion removes the glycerine and replaces it with methanol or ethanol, depending on which one you use, making it chemically stable for use as a fuel.

It also leaves left over glycerine and lye, which you can use right from the waste bucket as hand soap.
