vent it- there are kits for Hyd tanks which have filters on them for the air-maybe even use a short nipple which a common small oil filter fits- the oil filter would prevent dirty air from entering.

be sure to run the return line w/ a drop into the tank almost to the bottom, so the fuel doesnt make bubbles. diesel will foam up when just dumped into the top of a tank.

Toying with the idea of installing one of these in a F250 for the svo and then installing a small tank in the bed for the dino.
Thoughts?

I see some people using coolant lines to heat up WVO in plastic gas cans. Can it be any plastic gas can or does the plastic have to be a specific kind or rating?

i believe it should be HDPE rating; which means it can handle temperatures up to 300F.

Thanks

Say! That looks pretty slick. Almost afraid to ask how many sheckels?

I cut the center section out of the 2" non standard bung with a dull 1 7/8" hole saw. It ended up being a very tight fit, so tight I had to press in the coupling with a rubber mallet.



The coupling is a 1 1/4" weldable steel type found on the end of uncut pipe that is used to protect the threads.

I tack welded the washer to the top of the coupling and JB welded the heck out of it before putting it together. This pic was before gluing it all together.

Installing it in the tank included even more JB weld and a couple of screws to help keep the threads for coming loose. I had to grind off a bit of the barrels 2" bungs plastic ring. Otherwise the cap would not screw in all the way.

The second bung has a 2" x 1 1/4" bushing JB welded and tightly screwed into place. The washer was JB welded to the top of the bushing with screws added to also help keep the threads from coming loose. I will be adding a hot fox type heater to this opening




The pvc cap is a home made breather cap/filler tube.

Why not use the stock tank for diesel?

And:I couldn't find the tank that you've posted pics of on the Aero website - can you tell us the price?

Thanks!

This tanks is 26ish gallons and was custom made with all of the fittings you see and the fuel sender gauge installed less than $300. He is also workig on a different tank for a truck that is 60 inches wide and 65 gallons that one is $550 with all of the fittings. There are baffles on the insdie of both tanks also and aluminum coil heat exchanger.

Point is sometimes you can get a nice custom tank for less than the price of a poorly welded tank from Northern Tools or one of those places you get factory tanks.

I am looking for a very low cost under the bed WVO tank solution for my 1994 F250. I am currently using the front stock tank and want to move on to larger capacity and better material . I would go to the 30 gallon plastic barrel in be bed but I really need to keep the bed space open for hauling . - Thanks

Here are some custom underside tanks for a customers MBZ 300TDT w/3rd rear seat. The veg tank fills through the stock filler and mounts in place of original tank with all factory mounting hardware, tank is about 18 Gal. The diesel tank is around 7 gallon and is accessed from the top, it uses the stock MBZ sender. The tanks fit perfectly, I want to do a set for my TDT next.

RED-KOTE ® FUEL TANK LINER
STAYS FLEXIBLE - Will never crack or peel off.
ALCOHOL - GASOLINE RESISTANT
BRIGHT COLOR - You can see the results.
COVERS RUST - Seals old rust in and prevents future rusting.
SEALS LEAKS - Gets the multitude of pin-holes you can't find.

Red-Kote ® is a new polymer coating developed by Damon Chemical. Red-Kote ® is resistant to gasoline, diesel fuel, alcohol and other fuel additives. Its major use is to seal leaking fuel tanks.

Solvents such as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), acetone, methylene chloride and propylene oxide (POP) will completely dissolve the polymer. Other industrial solvents may affect the coating but, not completely dissolve it.

Red-Kote ® is easy to use if the directions are followed closely. It seals the multitude of small leaks that often form where the straps wrap around the tank. You fix the obvious leaks and Red-Kote ® seals the rest.

Contrary to what some people will tell you, rust does form inside gas tanks. The cause is condensation and water in gas. Red-Kote ® seals rust under the coating so it cannot flake off to plug fuel-line filters or cause engine damage. Further rusting is reduced also.
