Anyone know if regualr rubber fuel line that's diesel rated will work for WVO, or will it break down after a while? Any thoughts on alternatives?

Yes, much like biodiesel (albeit much less aggressively) WVO will eventually degrade regular diesel rated fuel line (usually nitrile based). Time-tested alternatives include Viton, nylon (polyurethane), Teflon (PTFE), and most fluorinated elastomers.
