There's always the possibility of a bad phone and/or data cable too.

I've seen two approaches to running diesel cars on veggie oil. It seems like the furnace would be similar.

1) Make biodiesel:

- filter out the chunks
- adjust the ph of the oil
- add methanol
- stir
- wait
- skim off glycerin (about 20% by volume)
- Everything that's left is biodiesel


or

2) the easy way (sort of)
-filter out the chunks
-warm the oil
-burn it

The problem with #2 is that the car won't start if the injection system is plugged up with solidified oil, so it must be switched back to diesel before shutting off. I suspect that a furnace would be ok if the tank doesn't get too cold.
