I am presently using solvent refined filtered fryer oil in a 6.7. Amazingly, I quit having fuel injection and particulate problems after I converted. Fuel economy is back up to the high teens.
My biggest expense is Stoddard Solvent that is then mixed at a rate of 3% solvent to 97% highly filtered used fryer oil, by volume not weight. When the mix is completed, I add 4 ounces of Hydrotex Lubrakleen to each 50 gallons of solvent refined oil.
Do not use some old elcheapo filter on the used fryer oil, but go with a pressure system that uses cheap large crud filters first and then a 3 micron at the final stage. You also have to heat the fryer oil to 158 degrees F or 70 degrees C for the filtering process.
The resulting solvent refined product requires no heating for the engine to function in normal summertime weather conditions. I have not tried it in cold weather, but will before the year is out.
Not counting my time, the cost is roughly 8 cents US $ a gallon for fuel that seems to work better than the pump stuff. Who knows what my time is worth, I figure it is worth it screw the oil companies!

Diesel Wrench
Based on what I read in this thread, I will do WVO over bio diesel anyday, if only because it seems that Murphy is just here looking to pick a fight, because he believes in bio diesel so much. Thats not the way to do things. That being said, Clay, I didn't see any cummins kits on the vegistroke website.. Are these still in the works? And, I am assuming that the wvo has to be filtered in your home before being used in the truck, correct? In other words, there is no filter ON the truck that filters the WVO?
