I ran it between the aux pump and water pump and I ran it for about 30 minutes. No heat between the engine and wvo tank but engine was at over 100 degree C. Any suggestions?
I would hope that you have another HE in line somewhere prior to the IP, the in-tank is just the beginning.

To answer your question: Assuming that when you refer to "heater hose" you are speaking of the supply side (in the vicinity of the oil filter). Your problem is most likely an air bubble. It usually takes a 45-60 minute drive (sometimes more) to expel all the air in the line, you can let it sit at idle for a week with no results.
