I think used oil needs more than filtering as it will contains starch & other materials.

I believe you need to warm the oil to get it thin enough to pass through the filter. I think people have used hot water tanks with immersion heaters for this job.

The oil should be filtered to arounf 5 microns, otherwise you'll find your main fuel filter blocking regularly. It will have to be heated to get it thru filters this fine.
There are other items you should do when using waste oil, have a look here for some further info and links to other sites to check out.
