will biodiesel harm injector pump

It should not as long as it is filtered properly. Most the BIODIESEL guys also have larger water seperators and better fuel filters just in case.

WVO will harm the injection pump (even with pre-heating), as well as the starter, glow plugs, lift pump, and battery. Mixing it with biodiesel or straight diesel will reduce but not eliminate the problem. WVO can be converted to biodiesel by removing water, glycerine and other impurities.
Biodiesel won't harm the pump's moving parts. The only issue with biodiesel comes in play if nitrile rubber fuel lines and seals are present - these are incompatible with biofuel and will eventually dissolve. Recent models use viton rubber hoses and seals, which are compatible. Good luck.
