I poured the contents down the toilet.












































..after passing it thru my body

15.5 gallons...good to hold 65 psi...I am going to pressurize to ~40 psi, pressure regulator to ~7 psi and forget about vac leaks and LPs.

I was worried at first, until I scrolled down. Spilling beer is bad enough, but just wasting it should be a crime. Good luck with the tank.

Always love to see a low-cost homemade WVO conversion part.
Personally, I'm using the OEM tank for veg and an auxillary tank for the diesel. I found a 8-gallon upright tank that fits VERY nicely into the depression on either side of the trunk. There is a tiny bit of material that will need to be removed from the trunk liner. Its made by RJS Racing.

Thats a pretty good idea, even for filtering WVO. I've read about a couple of guys who burst a 55 gallon drum trying to pressure it through the filter.

That is an awesome idea man. Are you planning on installing a heat exchanger?

Around here I'd go to a local brewery (for a full one) or a beer making supply house (for an empty one). Keg deposits are usually $80 - $90 in my experience.

If you want really cheap storage try to find a used (i.e. non-working) electric water heater.
