Yes, except the nozzle aperture or spray hole ratings/hour were determined using normal #2 heating oil, and using the bio-fats oil changes the physical quality of the oil, and the use/hour is slower with the same size nozzle hole, so a larger nozzle with the thicker oil would result in unchanged hour use number.

The nozzle is made using brass, so one can just drill out the tiny thin hole, a wee bit, with a slightly larger diameter, new, sharp drill bit for like $1.19.
