heating diesel and wvo

[Exekiel69]

I had to empty one of my tanks some time ago and I put the #2 on one of the barrels I use to settle the unfiltered wvo I get. I'll have to filter that oil soon but the #2 is still mixed in it (about 5% #2 and 95% wvo), after I filter it I heat it with a 3000 watt heater element, is that a NO NO?

Thank you.

I'm not sure what your asking EZ but if you are worried about the heater catching the diesel on fire you will be fine no worries there the thing to remeber is while heating diesel or oil as you rasie the temp it gets closer to its flash point so it makes it easier to catch on fire if you would through sparks or something it could catch on fire where normally it would go out

Cool, the heating element is at the bottom of the tank so no fire that is good.

EZ,
With all the WVO that you are cooking up, are you going to pay the road tax that Maryland requires?

We where talking about it on another thread, and yes as soon as I find how (shouldn't take much work) and decide to use it permanently. For now I just tested 2 gallons on my front tank and will see how it does.
