[/ QUOTE ] Dear lord are you trying to cook calamari or drive ? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Seriously though how much heat are trying to apply to the tank? I can think of a whole lot of reasons to not have 100 gallons of hot oil in my truck. Accidents resulting in burns and fires come to the fore.
The topic of tank-heating was recently hashed over at biodiesel.infopop.cc with the observations of one danalinscott that he heats only the pickup on his tank and he lives in a climate of solid veggie oil in the winter. By only heating a small amount less energy is needed and you needn't worry about wearing the tank contents in a crash.
My plan for my truck will go something like this heat pickup/tank enough to lower viscosity and ensure easy pumping, add heat to hose full of fuel to ensure easy filter passage, add (possibly thermostatically controlled electric) heat to filtered fuel to ensure low viscosity fuel available to IP.
