Will SVO harm my engine at all?

No. Contrary to some Internet rumors, using SVO in a diesel engine fitted with a well designed system will not “gum up your engine”. Like any engine, maintenance is very important . Although Vegetable oil has been proven to be a reliable alternative to diesel, it is not a cure all. Engines and injection systems can and do wear out on Golden Fuel Systems as with petroleum diesel. With that being said, there are some indications that the superior lubricating properties of veggie oil do add a little life to the engine. After all overcoming friction is the name of the game.
