WVO is often too thick for the fuel system, especially in modern diesels. Put in the lift pump first!

Other than that, I highly recommend processing the WVO into biodiesel before running it as fuel. Straight WVO will mess up the engine and injection system pretty good, with ash deposits, and wear damage. (Also, 5 micron isn't small enough in my opinion, I'd recommend 1 micron, if you can.)
The biodiesel process already takes out the majority of solid matter, so filtering will become easier too.
