My 2 tank SVO conversion

Here are some pictures of my 2 tank SVO conversion. To provide heat for the oil I am using an in tank heat exchanger, Hose in Hose (3/8 inch copper for oil surrounded by 3/4 inch hose for coolant), 16 plate heat exchanger, and a large filter with a coil of coolant hose surrounding it. Currently I am getting 145 F before the lift pump. I plan to add a valve to allow me to loop the oil return rather than sending it back to the tank. This should raise my oil temperature to around 160 F. Purge times are about 2 blocks.

First pictures: Fuel and coolant diagram, 16 plate heat exchanger, Hose in hose fittings, and the in tank heat exchanger.
