One of the issues with clogging filters that is not obvious at first glance is that the veg oil will partially solidify as it cools. So, just because it passes through your prefilters does not guarantee that it will pass through the filters on your car. Your filters do not necessarily get clogged with foreign particle material but can get clogged with clean veg oil. Used veg oil often has animal fat in it as it was used to cook meat. The same ideas apply to the animal tallow.

This is one of the reasons for using a fuel heater that doesn't seem to get mentioned by many of the self-proclaimed gurus.
