Hey guys,
So, a friend got me running WVO in my 80 this past summer and worked alright, I'd like to do a dual tank setup in my hilux project, and just want some of your insight, here's the system I have and parts i plan on using, I'm not sure it will provide enough heat to WVO to run in the colder months.
It's for a 3B, I have a Racor fuel filter (like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Racor-690R-...on-Element-12v-Heating-690R1230-/290902079313) with the transparent bottom/water seperator and the electric heater in the filter. I'm thinking I will run a coolant/fuel line heater to the WVO tank, and then run a coil in the tank to warm the WVO as well.
My question is, with the fuel warmed in the filter and along with the fuel line from the tank, will this be enough in -15 or -25 celsius weather once the engine and fuel warms up, or do I need to heat things up closer to the pump and the fuel lines as well?
I've been thinking of running a few temp switches run in series on the fuel lines and filter to a three way valve, so i could turn it on and when things heated to the switch point it would switch fuels automatically.
Any thoughts?
