Ok i connected it straight to the battery as many recommended on some grease forums. With an on/off toggle switch. After installing all the wires i started the car and flipped the switch. In that very instant i touched the heater and it was warm.

Cleaned up the vo/diesel off the floor (a good 4-5mins) and i touch the heater again....it was hot!! and it burnt my finger! Dont know the exact temp my next step is to put a thermostat to see what temps im getting.

But for now i have 90%vo with 10%diesel and the inline heater from fattywagon thins it out pretty well. You can even see how thinner it is in the clear pre-filter when you shake it.

pics coming soon.....
