We often blend some biodiesel in with WVO in winter. Since WVO tends to be higher viscosity than SVO, this thins it down to more like new oil and improves flow. It still gets heated, though. In fact, heating biodiesel itself is not a bad idea either, especially in colder weather. The cloud point of spec. biodiesel is +4 degrees C, whereas winter diesel is maybe -10 or so, depending on where you live. So, even biodesel users benefit from heating at least part of the year.
