Do an experiment and look at the bottle of vegetable oil that sits on your shelf. Is that clogged? Why should it clog up a properly designed system if it doesn’t clog up in the bottle?

Being a scientist I have conducted your test and concur with you findings
Test number 2 involves a little heat you'll need gloves, goggles and a lab coat for this
Empty the veg oil into a deep fat fryer of pan heat it a bit and it turns into big glob of Smeg stuck to sides that you can't get off
Now then
Now then
I am also an award winning cookery expert and when you combine high heat and vegetable oil you get a polymer thats like plastic or resin. The polymer bonds with the surface and results in robust finish used to season turnip frying pans that's why I always fry with premium diesel
Hope this helps

Excellent!
Yeah, i think that if you pour unconverted waste vegetable oil into just about any diesel newer that anout 1945 as a pure fuel you are asking for trouble.
Just filtering it doesn’t really do anything, except remove the obvious gunge.
Removing the water helps: the link i sent earlier from the Colorado guy has him using a centrifuge to separate the water out.
So that will help.
But as BigJohntheDieselCook points out, vegetable oil that’s been used for cooking is no longer pure.
And that’s where the conversion with caustic comes in.
It’s a chemical process whereby you convert the oil, including waste products into a benign fuel. It’s not hard to do.
Or if you don’t want that hassle, just buy standard vegetable oil in bulk, is easy to get at £0.70/liter for new, un-used svo. Many people mix that straight with diesel without conversions at all: 50/50 mix in summer is common.
