In tank coil, FPHE, heated filter from frybrid, have a centrifuge and 2 55 gallon settling drums. If you're gonna flame, go elsewhere.

Cleaning out the tank wasn't that bad. As much as people ***** about cleaning out tanks after WVO, I was expecting the worst. The sending unit was a little gummed up but cleaned up with a soak in some rubbing alcohol. Dropped the screen, drained the old stuff out, threw a few gallons of biodiesel in there and drove it around for a month on the five gallon fuel cell. Works like a charm now. No crazy clogged filters like everyone said I would have with the WVO. Much like anything as involved as a fuel change, preparation is key.

If I'm honest, the IP is quieter with WVO than it ever was with straight diesel.

Sounds like you're doing everything right.
Forget the WVO naysayers. I've been doing a two tank setup
for three years with no problems.

Good tip about cleaning out the main tank with bio.

Happy Driving,
Jeff
