My 2¢. Waste Vegetable Oil is appealing because it saves the trouble of refining down your own Bio-Diesel. However, when you make Bio-D from vegetable oil you remove the glycerin (the stuff soap is made from). I have seen photos on other forums of some sludged up engines that have been running on WVO. There is a lot more mechanical complexity involved in running WVO with solenoids and heated oil tanks etc. My thought would be to get the diesel swap running well on Bio-D first and then see if you still want to go to the next step.
