----- Original Message ----- From: "Dana Linscott" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <biofuel@yahoogroups.com> Dana my main interest is Biodiesel. Heating the fuel would allow me to use BD from beef tallow/animal fats in winter. ( rarely below 0 deg C in this part of OZ) Information in this branch of discussion group very helpful.
> How much current does it draw? The kettle is designed to plug into cigarette lighter socket. from memory these usually have a 10 or 15 amp fuse. Rating of element must be low as it takes a long time to boil a small jug of water. >Elements designed to heat H2O have a short lifespan in SVO due to the fact that H2O better "dissapates" heat than SVO. Yes have heard that, would need circulation of SVO over element. Another option people have used is to underrate the element by connecting two in series, but heat output drops off considerably. > How do you plan on heating your lines? Since i will be using BD I don't think I will bother with line heating. Any heating will be by engine coolant or electrically at or before filter. Intend to double up on fuel delivery lines. Aftermarket tank fitted has two outlets . Could wrap insulation over delivery and return lines under vehicle but I think the return would not be worth the trouble.
