I have e-mailed greasel a few times and I am still a bit confused as to what I am actually going to have to do to burn this stuff.
Here is the set-up I want.
I plan on keeping the existing ford tanks for diesel.
I have a 60 gal in bed set-up for diesel that I would like to convert to WVO
I want to get to tanks from greasel to set outside of the frame rails and inside the body (like the older gm trucks) holding 30 gals a piece.
So what I want to know is how do I get the wvo from burger king to the point to be burnt as fuel?
Am I going to pump from Burger King to my tank, pump to my tank at home, settle, filter, pump back into my truck to be burnt?
This seems a bit cumbersome. I have a 330 gal tank at home that I fill with HHO that I would not mind converting to a settling and filtering set-up, but I am not sure what is needed here.

Add fuel to that it jumps to 16.5 cents per mile over the life of the truck.
disclaimer- I haven't done it but am preparing my head for all this and have thought quite a bit about it -
I think the easiest thing to do is to gather the oil in 55gal drums (probably on a trailer), take it home and work the magic in those. separating and then perhaps transferring to your 330 gal tank. or into a clean oil drum from which the truck gets topped off each day.
Alternatively, under your setup you could heat the 60 gallon tank and use it as "dirty" storage, once the oil is hot you could filter it right into the 30gal tanks. Sort of like how their nomad system works. One thing though is that is looking like heating a LOT of tanks (4) with coolant.
I had planned on building a 100 - 150 gal in bed tank, divided in two. Heating both sides with engine coolant. One side would be for dirty oil, the other filtered oil. It would allow the dirty heated side to collect the big nasties on one side of the dirty half, then filter via a 20 micron, then 10 micron inline filter setup to the other side. Then, I could pump from the clean heated side thru a 5 micron filter to the second selector switching valve under the hood, and then go to the IP from there. The selector valve would be of the same type currently on the truck, but setup to allow WVO to go back the correct tank, and D2 to go back to its appropriat tank via the original selector valve. I think it would work, and allow for fillups on road, without having to stop to filter out your oil. Plus, its a totally self contained system that all you have to do is change out the filters.
Whatdayall think about that?

Sounds good. It's the Nomad system that Greasel installed in my truck--it's been working great for over 2,000 miles now.
