Just to point out, you will wreck the fuel system like that. HDi's won't even run veg oil. You'll find the seals give out, with veg it's to do with the acids in it. With oil, it's due to the contaminants in it from being run in an engine. The filters will also struggle with the crap in the oil. It's also down to the viscosity of the fuel, it's just too thick to run in a common rail fuel system even mixed with 50% diesel.
So yeah, dump the tank and get some pump diesel in there. A can of injector cleaner will possibly help, and a new good quality fuel filter. It might just save it if this has only just started. Look around on here at peoples issues running alternative fuel... there's quite a few threads where people have struggled with even red diesel.
