IF you must add it to your diesel fuel, do it in limited quantities. That oil has been sitting for quite a while and will probably have water dissolved in it.

Also, only draw off the top of the containers to further reduce the risk of water getting into your injection system.

I'm not a fan of WVO usage (the jury's still out over blending), torn down one too many engines trashed by its use. Biodiesel solves most of the problems of WVO use, but since you only have a small amount of peanut oil to use, there's no point in climbing the biodiesel learning curve at this time for you.

Do you have some friends who make biodiesel? They'd be able to turn that peanut oil into biodiesel for you. I've done that for my friends when they needed fuel.
