is straining through cloth good enough?

a neighbor gave me a few 5 gallon jugs of cooking oil (used to cook turkeys). I thought I could burn it in my diesel. A few questions--


1. can I just strain the oil by pouring it through some old tshirts? I plan to pour them into buckets with old tshirts as strainers. is that good enough?


2. after I clean it of sediment, can I pour it into my diesel? will it ruin anything like the injection pump or gum up the fuel tank?


3. is this even a good idea considering how cheap fuel is? the car is running wonderfully well right now and I would hate myself if I ruined it with some hare-brained idea to burn veg oil.


thanks guys
