be CAREFUL here
even at 50% you need to make sure your WVO is filtered AND DEWATERED 
adequately
over time, injection pumps will suffer and can even fail from ANY water 
in the fuel
(and innocent-looking WVO can contain a lot of it, in suspension, and 
it WILL pass through 'water-separating' filters, and certainly through 
stock OEM filters, quite easily)
also:
some people have reported WVO-diesel blends reacting in such a way as 
to precipitate dissolved waxes OUT of diesel fuel (with catastrophic 
results - waxes can completely block lines, contaminate tanks, 
absolutely shut down your vehicle)

that said, I run straight WVO in a two-tank system in my EuroVan, and 
love love love running on it
but you can't go around blithely tipping used fryelator oil, 
unprocessed, into diesel tanks without endangering the long-term 
viability of your ride
it needs to be done right

there is much good info on all of this here:
