Probably this article: http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_SVO-palm.html They used SVO palm oil in a Kubota stationary diesel engine. They heated the oil by running the exhaust pipe through the tank. They found greatly increased wear to the compression rings. They also found higher EGTs -- the palm oil wasn't burning completely in the cylinder, so some of it was combusting in the exhaust manifold, instead.
