Running a big rig on veggie oil
I have been researching veggie oil as fuel in diesels for years. Seems to have a few downsides and upsides but vegetable oil for fuel is actually what good ol' Rudolph Diesel had in mind for fuel when...

I used cooking oil in a 01 f350 7.3. I had a sorse so that wasn't a
problem. Had 2 55 gal. drums one with a plastic barrel filter,dumped
the oil in that one.
Then I got 2 small pumps and 2 culligan water filters. These had a higher micron than the truck filter so I wasn't too worried there.
From there the oil went through the pumps & filters into the other
barrel (nice and clean) Added a little kerosene & wola.
It really cleaned out the tank so I went threw a bunch of filters
also. I got it to where I had a 50/50 diesel to oil mix.Was a french
frying machine.:B
