WVO/biodiesel registry?

I'm getting ready to 'hybridize' my new 3b bj60 with a second tank, heated lines and filter etc. and have been looking through the threads but I was wondering what everyone would think of having a registry like the other forums have. Those who have been running on WVO/biodiesel could list:

1. date of conversion
2. miles driven since conversion
3. problems that they've had
4. a telling photo of their setup

Good idea?
It's just that I've been doing a lot of reading, learning stuff about chemistry etc. and realize there's a whole lot that can go wrong with burning this stuff in your engine, and, different engines respond differently.

For instance, I know with my experience burning B100 in my 1.6l VW golf I ended up replacing my fuel lines, water separator, stop valves, glowplugs and injector lines one after another. Things like that.

Cheers,

Ok...I'll go:
1981 2H with a Goldenfuel System installed. Been over a year, and I would say maybe 20-30,000 miles (Odometer doesn't work)

Problems:
None that I didn't cause myself. Mostly inexperience using the double tank system and f-ing up the filters, or switching to WVO when the oil isn't warmed up yet. Nothing serious, anyway. Learning curve, but well worth it.

dieselcruiserhead is an unknown quantity at this point
I am biodiesel only, '71 FJ55 with a Cummins diesel, running biodiesel since 2004. I have done several WVO conversions and am planning one for myself, but have never run a WVO conversion. But I have time in a Dodge with the conversion (Frybrid) and it runs great...
