First tankful of 50:50 WVO/Diesel

I'm part of the "club" now, running my '80 300SD on a 50% WVO mix in the main tank. Time will tell how this will work for me. I have a great source of oil, and am researching all my options for "converting" the car, including 2-tank systems, in-tank heaters, "blended" fuels, and whatever else works well. I have a few thoughts/questions for the group.

1. How about a WVO specific forum on the Mercedesshop forums? I know about some of the other biodiesel and WVO sites, but everything here is just better, and I have no doubt that a WVO forum would be better here.

2. Does anyone have plumbing diagrams for their WVO setups? (i.e. where the solenoid valves go, what kind of tubing is being used, filter selection, how are the solenoids wired, etc.)

3. What are people's thoughts about a discreet WVO logo to be placed on the car somewhere? I'm not talking about some hand painted "Biodiesel" emblem in big green letters down the side of the car, but something suitable for a fine MB auto.

I'm enthusiastic about the WVO stuff, let's share more info.
