Re: Heating return line?

Warden,
I think that depends on the amount of heat you're feeding the tank. Unless it was VERY marginal, I don't think it would be necessary, but I plan on running all of my lines inside a PVC bundle along with the coolant lines I'll be using to heat the tank.

I'm leaning towards NOT using one of my stock tanks, but using a third tank in the bed for the WVO.

1) We already have plans for that on the 6.9 site, by using a second "Y" in the fuel lines we can route returns and feeds and switch from inside the cab.

2) For my heating element, it will be MUCH easier to plumb the tank in the bed. I plan on feeding it with a tap from the heater feed, and putting a regular heater control valve inline along with a temp sensor for the tank. That way I can monitor the temp, and also control the flow of coolant through the tank the same way we control the flow of coolant through the heater core.
