They think that WVO will save $$$. I think the fail to consider the hidden cost of using WVO first the conversion kit and installation cost about twice what an Appleseed Processor costs, second when the time comes to replace the truck their pool of potential buyers will be greatly limited.
I just completed my WVO conversion on my 95. Total cost for conversion and WVO collection equipment $1000. My only recurring cost is filters.
I burn 95% of all oil I collect. With fuel oil over $3 a gallon my return on investment is 330 gallons of WVO.
I would say the greatest risk is WVO done wrong it will destroy you engine.
That is a very large hidden cost.
