Better to run even the most basic level two-tank system. If you use one without a hose in hose like our most basic version, it is easy to install, without cutting into the coolant lines. Then, you can thin the WVO in winter if need be, (since no hose in hose), but in warmer months you will be able to run WVO without thinning it, just do the satrt/stop on diesel routine.
