Generally speaking, yes. Biodiesel does not need to be preheated before entering the fuel injection system, unlike WVO. Theoretically, any diesel motor will run on WVO. However, many modern fuel injection systems are not well-suited to use WVO, even after it is heated, because they operate at very high pressures and are not designed for a high viscosity fuel like WVO.
