My neighbor runs a Ford powerstroke tractor-trailer on straight cooking oil. He hauls cattle thruout NY State and Penn State. He has a system that heats the oil from tank to engine, heated lines, filters, etc. He starts on regular Diesel, then when the engine is good and warm, switches to cooking oil, then before shutting down, runs on regular Diesel to purge the cooking oil from the fuel lines and prevent it solidfifying in the lines. The engine coolant provides the heat for the fuel. All he does after he gathers it from the restaurants is filter the livin' begessis out of it, uses 10 micron filters, I believe. During the coldest days of winter when it goes below zero, he runs on straight Diesel. He syas the truck runs better on the cookin' oil. He also converted a couple of tractors on his farm to run on french fry oil.
