You might could filter it (10 micron?) before adding it to your fuel 
tank.  The acids should only be present if the TBN of the oil has been 
completely used.  

David mentioned in a post that he forced his WVO through a fine filter 
(after running it through a coarse filter) using an electric motor 
powered power steering pump.
