80-20 blends with straight oil

Good morning! Any of you guys heard about mixing regular fryer oil (not biodiesel -- undigested, just filtered) at 5:1 with dino diesel? My stepdad tells me he's been doing this for four years with his crapped-out old Merc 300SD and there've been no problems with it other than a more aggressive oil filter change schedule. He told me there was an Idaho State University study that determined that this was A-OK. Now I've found a local source for filtered fish-n-chip sauce for a buck a gallon and I'm thinking about giving it a try.

Thanks!
