Yes it does, I was just curious. Also, package came yesterday. Will do some test fitting this weekend!

Here we go !
I am on the east coast of Florida.
Looked like is was going to stay west of us until yesterday. Now it has moved
east and looks like it will be just north of me. I'm near Melbourne.
Got my Coleman stuff ready. I started collecting years ago so I'm well stocked
with lanterns, stoves and fuel !
Got my generators staged and ready. I have 4 diesel gen sets, so good there.
I know members just south of me.
How much fuel do you keep around for the iron beasts?
Stay safe and take cover !

My Listeroid is a DI engine and it runs well on both BioD and WVO.
BioD - No mods needed. (Except for changing the crappy Indian rubber fuel line from the tank to the fuel filter. It will disintegrate.
Modern fuel injector hose has a liner which is compatible with biodiesel.
WVO - I heat the WVO on the way to the injector using a Ni-chrome wire heater wrapped around the steel injector line.
The other option is a coolant heat exchanger which passes coolant heat to the wvo on the way to the injector pump.
Blend - No mods needed (If you choose to run a blend, then no fuel heating should be necessary as the viscosity is already adequate.)
By the way.... for a lister(oid) you don't have to go to the trouble of making biodiesel.
They run very well on cleaned/filtered waste vegetable oil.
Also consider a blend. 80% veg oil and 20% unleaded gasoline.
Just keep the temperatures high enough for clean combustion (coolant thermostat).
Start on diesel for warm up, then switch over to WVO. Afterwards, switch back to diesel for 3 minutes or so before shutdown.
