cold flow

[Drago]

I've been having some problems recently and it was obviously temp related, The WVO I have has a lot of animal fats in it, I'm going to try an experiment by putting the tank pickup line right next to the return line inside a jar inside the tank, the theory being as the engine warms up the fuel manager will squirt in warmed up BioD. If that doesn't work then I'll have to pour in more DinoD

Why not use a heated pick up. Google "hot fox" or "hot stick" fuel heater.

I'm thinking about just dropping in a hot clothes iron

What happens if your away from 120v.
The coolant heated pick up always worked great for me.

The plan is drop the hot iron in, start it, load all my stuff in the back and drive to Texas

 

[Burning oil]

Are you using a 12v iron

 

[Drago]

Wood stove iron, just drop it in and drive non stop in a southerly direction until the weather warms up, just like the Canadians

Gonna try Technol "Biodiesel B-100 Cold Flow Improver" we're going to have a couple of warm days (60s-70s) which gives me time to empty the tank of my diesel/Kero/Bio/Kleen concoction and see if I get that BioD to work.

I saw from your other post that the Technol helped, but didn't really solve the problem. Leroy is right, why not install a hot fox? Easy to plumb, no negatives to running one. You still could have starting problems, but at least once running you'd be fine.

There just isn't enough return fuel on a 6.5 to make much difference, and I bet it's cool by the time it reaches the tank.

Final comment, find a cleaner source of wvo!

Ive always though of a copper tube wrapped around exhaust for intake and return for "getto" anti jelling system
