Will this tank work? I'm converting a Suburban and the dimensions of this tank are very similar to someone who sent me a sketch of his custom tank.
What would you suggest for heat? Thanks. http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/pro...77123/10001/257/78/6 |

i live in kc. the welds are split in the corners. it can be rewelded-much easier than starting from scratch. the reason it split is the veggunk filled the vent hole in the cap. now i add a hose from the top of the tank to the diesel tank as a postitive vent. pat |

I found a 55 gallon stainless tank on Ebay for $cheap$. It's out of a boat. It took a little work but it's been great. It's baffled and has a 2" bung to fill.
I had to have a fitting welded into the bottom for fuel-out and I also added a heat exchanger...  ------------------------ 1985 Mercedes 300D with Greasecar kit. 1993 Chevy 3500, my own conversion. |

Motown Fire - That looks like a galvanized tank . Zinc (galvanizing ) and WVO (or the acids found it it ) are reactive (see- http://biodiesel.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/159605551/m/122607161/inc/1 ) . It would be better choose at tank made of another material ( preferably aluminum , palstic, or stainless steels ). You heated pickup configuration looks good but use it in a another tank .

Seeking tank options for my 1994 Ford F250 7.3 long bed pickup truck ? -
I have been using the front stock tank for WVO (heavy polymerized WVO buildup aka "chicken skin") and rusty rear tank for diesel . I want to replace the steel WVO tank with aluminum or plastic and also need to deal with a rusty rear tank for diesel . I am looking for some under the bed tank options than stock type replacement tanks. ( Cheap metal stock replacement tanks are available for around $100 shipped front or rear , plastic tanks for about $200 ea- www.mts.company.com ) . edit - see this photo -for a good reason why not to use a steel tank for WVO - http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d70/rkpatt/ppstuff090708a004.jpg I have a very limited budget for this so unfortunately those direct fit plastic tanks from www.mtscompany.com are not a choice in this case .

rkpatt,
A steel powder keg would not be a good idea, i.e. sparks. I imagine it is aluminumn and they proably use plastic these days. |

This is what I hope is my finished tank. The wrecking yard gave me the gas neck. Next time I am going to hold out for a Diesel filler neck but free is free.

this is the same "vegwedge" tank i used. careful- the vent is in the fill cap and it can/will get crudded up and the tank will pressureize and split the seams. add a positive vent- i connected to the top of the diesel tank.
if anyone needs the one i have send me a note it's not that bad. pat This message has been edited. Last edited by: patcarr, |
