food grade soy oil should not have water in it. blending fresh oil and diesel is something that I doubt is much recommended, but there have been people doing it for years. I've done it for a few months with the AKP-Wagen (and alot of other stuff)- Luther has used up to 70% VO and 30%D2 and has done it for longer than I.
THere are probably some risks, but as long as the temp is high enough and the mixture low enough to keep the viscosity right, I don't see a problem. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Obviously the engine was designed for D2, D1 or D2/kero mix...so whenever you do something other than that, there may be some risk. I've only put VO in the AKP-Wagen, not my nice SD nor the TD...still not comfortable without many more miles under my belt. Now with a kit (heats the oil, purges the lines, etc), no problem.
