Leave the fuel for quite a while - maybe a few days just for any crap and water to settle.
As for filters, I use Crossland for the paper element type or an Atkinson one which has nylon gauze with a water settling bowl.
www.heating-parts.co.uk for on line catalogue and quick delivery.
Personally I've never closed off a plastic oil pipe by squeezing.....usually its 10mm outside diameter copper with a plastic coating so I cut where the pipe is in perfect condition and then jam a valve on. A wee prayer first could help!
As for oil theft it depends on where the tank is and whether you live in a crime area I suppose.....but its well cheap just now.

That'll do nicely Paul......if you are connecting directly to the tank, use some thread sealant as well as your PTFE - its a drag having to drain down again! Heldite is a good one, there are others by Loctite and so on.
One last tip - grease around the valve handle spindle, just to stop it rusting.
