Do you have any pics of your setup. That sounds interesting.

These are the pics of my old system on the Vegistroke site. I have a newer system now that Jason (owner of DFA Vegistroke) just got done upgrading last month. My pump is now a FASS pump and a few other minor upgrades. The older system worked fine but he wanted me to have the latest and greatest system because I do show it to alot of folks and he wanted me to be showing his newest design.
Click on the pics to enlarge them.
Theres not alot to it, the tank with the heated fuel pick up line, the main module where you see the filter and that blue submarine looking thing and nothing under the hood that is visible at all.

Since I do not have a second tank I run a WVO diesel mix. In the summer time I get up to 50% sometimes. I want to make a 2 tanker but funds are kicking my butt.

Be carefull with that, you will likely still get some coking of the rings and injectors tips durring those cold startups.
I don't know what you drive but if its a PSD there is no issue with heat after the engine has reach operating temp as the fuel rails are cast into the heads and therefor the WVO gets heated nice and toasty before it goes to the injectors. If you have a cummins, this is not the case and you are injectoing cold WVO, mixed or straight that will cause incomplete burn and coking which = slow premature engine death.

I runa 24 valve cummins. It does great so far, and to help with any coking I run seafoam every now and then.
