Here's one way: Make your own biodiesel - page 2: Deacidifying WVO http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make2.html#deacid It depends on the diesel and on the oil. Diesel generators are good candidates for SVO use - see: Guide to using vegetable oil as diesel fuel -- Straight vegetable oil as diesel fuel: http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_svo.html#guide If the oil is in good condition, you might not need to deacidify it. You'd test that by titration - if it titrates at less than 2-3 ml, you might be okay, especially with a generator.
