Don't have any problems, I also don't do anything stupid with it.

I also run vegetable oil. I cut it in with my diesel fuel at a rate of up to 25% in the summer.
No tanks, fuel warming system, switching valves, or any garbage like that. Just a serries of 3 fuel filters and 2 switchable lift pumps each with their own primary fuel filter.
Your stanadyne pump is hating life, as is every other part of the 6.5. WVO doesn't behave like D2 so I can only imagine what the injectors and pistons look like.

Also, weight should be a consideration. 6bt Cummins is roughly 1000lbs and the Duramax is near 880.
