I used a DIY Hotfox style coolant heated fuel pickup . This setup was used for about 3 1/2 years . I am now usng a polyethylene tank for WVO . Consider using an aluminum, plastic , stainless tank to avoid polymerization problems . __________________ 1994 F250 7.3 IDI E4OD Last edited by rkpatt; 10-30-2008 at 08:38 PM.
