I don't think you quite understand where the probe is. There is no coolant line there. It is mounted almost AT the rear most injector. I do agree that heat would not be carried away by the diesel as it is not flowing, but the engine heat is also not being carried away by airflow, over the engine or the rad. I believe this is the same reason that many gassers have carb cooling fans?

Project stalled slightly right now due to business travels, Headed to Mystic, CT next week, going to make a quick stop off at Greasecar for a visit!

I have about 55G of WVO filtered to 100microns, through the first set of filters (600,400,200,100) in a black barrel in the sun. Next step is to pump through a 15micron filter into a steel tank with a 1500W heater in it, cook it for 10-12 hrs then final filter before vehicle tank. (and hot pan test)

Stay tuned!
