Those are probably my last choices for conversions.  A two tank system is 
much safer and more versatile.

With a good 2 tank system, hydrogenated oil is not a problem.  But you do 
have to adequately de-water and filter your fuel which is harder with 
hydrogenated oil.  With my 2 tank system, I can run my diesel on even Lard 
or Butter.  :-)
