Dana, I checked out the Webb after it was posted, but it seems it only produces a 32 degree (F) temperature rise - not enough to achieve the 170 needed (or the 300 deemed optimum for direct injection.) Or are you just proposing using it to get the SVO hot enough to flow, then adding heat downstream somehow? That must be your plan.
I don't remember your posting about how you'd heating the SVO/WVO - but I've posted some of the methods I'm considering - Neoterics inline electric heater (or, in my case, with direct injection, their proposed HD model) or Racor's Coolant Heater - which will raise fuel temps as much as 89 degrees F (!) I think you are on to something. Are you planning on selling any of your Webb-type immersion heaters? And I also like the simplicity of your suggestion that pre-filtering to 5 microns makes anything other than the stock filter unnecessary. Unless it's true as I've heard from some that paper filters won't handle SVO/WVO. And - love to hear about your simple filtration unit.
