-Set the heater controls to hot and the cabin fan to min.
-Start the car and hope the tiny diesel fuel heater is enough to warm the WVO up enough to flow through the filters.
Once it is running well enough to drive, fill the rest of the tank with diesel.

Never, ever, do that again. WVO in a diesel is not as simple as filter and go. There are plenty of websites out there to show you what has to be done to make it work.
