CJ, I have mixed in some of the thicker stuff and have been OK. Not too much at a time. . . heating it good then mixing with diesel makes it stay liquid to a cooler temp, and using the DSE helped it stay liquified until colder temps. So yes I have been using this but not readily. The 12-valve is more forgiving for filter restriction since the lift pump runs at high pressure. Haven't had any plugged filter problems.
I have a turkey fryer I use for heating. I get it to 180F or so, and if it has moisture it will make a bit of steam, and/or start to crackle since water settles to the bottom. If it crackles I dump it and don't use it. It's not very often it has enough moisture to crackle. If not I keep it hot for 20-30 minutes to be sure. Filtering is nothing fancy, just running it through 4-5 layers of fine cloth. The good thing about veggie oil is there isn't much concern with abrasives, since it's not coming out of machinery, and most of the contamination is what falls off the food being cooked (filters out easily).
I do want to get the beads that take moisture out, because I feel that's what I need to improve on the most.
