haymaker421, that's their own fault for not doing the homework before dumping bad cooking oil into an expensive engine.
You can't just dump it straight out of the fryer into the fuel tank. At the very least, the oil needs to be filtered MULTIPLE times before it should be put anywhere near an engine. It's got all kinds of hard-cooked food particles in it that are like sand, and will tear up fuel pumps.
If you want to dump it straight into the tank you need to process it into bioidiesel by mixing it with a solution of methanol and lye. The methanol and lye cause the glycerine, the goopy stuff that clogged your fuel filter along with the larger fuel particles.
If you don't want to make it into biodiesel, you need a second waste vegetable oil fuel system on the tractor. It's a separate tank that uses engine heat to warm the oil and make it thinner so it will pump, plus several filters that remove the sludge and food particles.
Don't badmouth biodiesel and waste vegetable oil power because your family/employer/whoever COMPLETELY IGNORED all the information on how to do it correctly, and just dumped the dirtiest crap they could find in the fuel tank. The original diesel engine ran on vegetable oil, and modern diesels will too as long as it's clean and done correctly.
