I would certainly filter it again before using it!! A simple system can be easily made with an electric fuel transfer pump and a standard auto filter like a ph8a. At the very least a large truck-type fuel filter added before the two MB filters to catch any crap thats there. I wouldn't run more than 25% used oil just because I don't feel comfortable running a diesel on such a high-viscosity fuel. I start thinking about over-stressing IP parts.... RT
