i would recommend older merc/vw cars and ford/dodge trucks to run on VO
its extremely difficult getting new cars to run on it though
the new Mercedes Bluetec doesnt even recommend biodiesel!

All you have to do is collect the WVO and then filter it and then pour it in your tank?
that is amazing, and I'm already looking on craigslist for an old mercedes diesel 
Back when I was thinking about running bio or SVO I came to the conclusion that it was too expensive and too much trouble (chemicals and processing of bio and SVO is as expensive as diesel)

weather/temperature and quality of oil has EVERYTHING to do with it
the warmer the oil the better
the clearer the oil the better
