Do I need to pre-mix WMO with diesel

I built a setup to pump and filter WMO. Will I need to pre-mix the WMO with diesel prior to pumping in to truck or can I just fill up with diesel and top tank off with WMO. Will it settle out?
Also, is WMO filtered to 10 micron clean enough to use?
I figure I'll run 20%(based off of other posts) that will save me approx $100/mo.
anyone see any problems? Oilguy?
Thanks

Dump the WMO in before you fuel. The fuel rushing into the tank will stir it up enough.

I second - it works fine. I've even dumped WMO on top of my diesel and just kinda backed up and hit the brakes a few times to slosh the tank - no problems.

I would pre-mix. I use a 20% WVO to 80% diesel in our Jetta, 100% WVO in my truck. I have experimented mixing WVO and diesel in clear juice bottles. It takes some doing, a few sloshes back and forth doesn't seem to mix it well enough, it will settle out. As a result, I now mix it 50-50 and dump it in the Jetta tank after it hits the 3/4 mark.
