Some information that may be of interest.
A couple of years ago there was a letter to the editor of the IEAUST newsletter. The letter was from an engineer that had been involved in military research, trialling the operation of diesel engines on SVO (specifically coconut/palm oil).
It was stated that direct injection diesels developed carbon trumpets on the injector nozzles, whereas indirect injection diesels did not. The presence of these carbon deposits was confirmed by a friend of mine who was running an ISUZU (direct injection) diesel on WVO, however he stated that the deposits could be controlled through regular use of injector cleaner.
Has anyone else noticed this???
