Has anyone converted an LD28 to Straight Vegetable Oil?

Member Carimbo has been flirting with SVO. I am running B100 in my '82 Wagon in the sense that I have run four tanks, but have only driven those fourt tanksfull in the last two years -- ie, that Wagon is not my DD. I am a big booster of (ASTM D-5761) biodiesel, and am somewhat active in our local BD community.

I don't think that anybody makes modified injectors for the LD28 to properly atomize the WVO/SVO.

My bias is explained here.
