I have read alot on here and other boards about the WVO/biodiesel systems. One common thing is to use the engine coolant to heat the oil fuel. Problem - engine must run a while to heat the oil up and no cold starts on WVO/bio.
One thought bouncing around in my head is to use/fabricate a 24 volt heater for the tank or put a separate 12v system in and use a 12v heater in the tank.
Another idea maybe in conjunction with above, is to insulate the tank and put a 120Vac heating coil around it to plug in overnight(on a timer) so the tank is hot when you want to start up on oil.
thoughts anyone?.
