VOC "Veggie oil confusion"

Hey y'all, I have been very seriously considering trying the veggie oil thing, but after reading and reading AND READING threads and links, I am just SO confused......I hope someone can just clear up a couple of thing for me or several of you can for that matter.
Seems that I have found everything from you have to run a small percentage of VO with diesel, to 4:1 VO and RUG, to straight VO, to if I am low and not near available diesel stop off at the all night Kroger and get a gallon of Wesson to get me to the nearest station with diesel.

Then there seems to be those with elaborate heating and filtering systems to those with simple filtering systems, for the WVO that is.

Then I get to the you need to have a heater in the tank and for the fuel lines.

I personally kinda like the idea of the 4:1 WVO and RUG

Any reccommendations or suggestions on which direction I should go?

Also, once I decide to do the WVO do I need to start from an empty tank? Does this mix with diesel? I guess I just dont know enough about it to take that first step.

Any help would be GREAT!

Thanks!
