What do you guys do with the extra crud that falls out of it after settling for a few days? It seems like I heard some people say they mix it in with used oil and take it back that way.

My biggest concern is about the line in line system. How do you start and end a line in line system without any leaks? It seems like quite the achilles heal to have a rather weak or soft line on bottom pressurized with the motors coolant, what happens if you catch something on the road...!?

The baffles are surely a good point, I didn't figure that into the sheet metal needed but I'd still have enough extra to make it work. I'm thinking they are installed almost in complimentary pairs, two or three of them. The thing I wonder about in the tank is how I'm going to go about the vent, perhaps I'll add another nipple on top and just Y it with the factory tank's vent? I almost think it'll have to be a pipe going to the bottom of the tank so it doesn't slosh out with a full tank in turns.

I haven't considered the filtering unit very much yet because I don't know what is available. I'm thinking I'll use air pressure rather than pumps to move the stuff around, but this is assuming I can get an airtight barrel. I already have the filters and figure everything will be going in 4" PVC plumbing for filtering, I'll probably have a .5" hose from the reservoir tank to fill the WVO tank.

I presume this fuel vacuum gauge is something you added? This temperature gauge is just the one in the dash or you actually have a probe in line getting this data?

Thanks.
