   The old heavy diesel oils may give more power, but were difficult to
start in cold weather (we used ether for cold starting), and would part
freeze and separate, blocking the pipes. Used vegetable oil that is no
longer suitable for frying may need drying, but would probably be OK, and
would be a valid use rather than cleaning before recycling back as cheap
cooking oil.
