How much do you have to heat it, and how hard is it to do something like that. When I get my tax return, I am going to make a hold tank, and set up a electrict pump, with a good filter set up. I want to start using used motor oils at first; But, I also want to be able to use other bio fuels also. If I made two (2) tanks, with their own pumps and filters, or one pump and a set of filters, etc. How do you, or how hard is it to do a heated set up? Could you just heat the fuel as it leaves the tank, pre-filter; or do you have to heat the entire tank setup??

If you got a bad head gasket, over torquing will not fix it, and you may break something. A lot of people don't realize what torquing actually does. Each bolt has slight stretch to them, that's what hold them in place. The torque value is the ultimate stretch point in which the bolt will hold. To little, and the bolt does not stretch enough for a proper hold. Too much, and the bolt looses its stretch/holding properties and at a point, will break. If anything, over torque will fatigue the holding ability, and you should at that point toss it. As for the mechanics. Back in the days, any body could and did turn a wrench, but like doctors and lawers, there's the good, bad and the ugly. These days, you have to be a rocket scientist to be a good mechanic, the dumb ones get recalls, while the real mechanics win races and events; and know how to do a job right; always doing proper prep and research, and making sure there's no short cuts, and that'll do her approach.
