Default Disposal of waste cooking oil in Diesel engine

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Ron Lowe saying
something like:

Consequently, I now have several litres of used groundnut oil for disposal.

I was considering pouring it into the LR Discovery's diesel tank, at a
ratio of say 2 litres waste oil to 80 litres of real diesel.

Or if I was shy of that, then into the 500 Litre tank of our big
generator at work.

Comments?


Filter, filter, filter. Down to 5 microns, if possible.
No problem with running clean, dewatered waste veg oil in an older IDI
or even DI system, but I don't and wouldn't do it on a modern CR system.
