Anyone currently running WVO as a dis-easel alternative?

I know this is probably 'old hat' by now but can anyone pass on the heads-up re using old chip shop oil?

never did I expect to be looking at the proposition of running a diesel but circumstances now dictate it has to be the way forward for the next few years at least. Time to tighten the ever reducing belt and make a few holes in the leather where the once comforting middle aged spread has declined through famine and pestilence.

gone are the halcyon days of hooning in TVR's and wafting around in Jagwars and back to reality with a bang, time to do the dreaded and find a daily hack amongst the classifieds and fleabay.

So what to buy? my heart says an old red Alfa 147JTD my head says a Merc Hatcback coupe thing akin to that of the local corner shop keeper. maybe an old Freelander or even worse a Vauxhall Fronterra or an old snotter of an estate for lugging sacks of spuds around...I really don't know, no passion for driving just the necessity to get from A to B as cheaply as possible whilst able to commute the 600 mile round trip from Devon to Cheshire to see the kids with some form of regularity and reliable comfort.

Thus we now have a regular supply of used Chip oil, and A Merlin filtration system from Merit Filtration

I'm not sure what this machine can filter down too, but I'm sure I can rig up some form of an auxiliary remote hydraulic filter which will bring contamination down to as little as 1 micron, but will I have to alter the viscosity? or can I just filter and mix 50/50 with Pump diesel?

any help will be warmly appreciated...thanks in advance

Any links?

and what would you suggest in the way of big and old? the roads around here are more conducive to hooning than whafty barges...that's the tough part
