[Vwdiesel] Veggie oil

[Gary, Orlando]

This is good gouge!

I want to install a small tank for dino, and use my main tank for WVO.
Use a six port valve to switch between and return each fuel to it's
respective tank(full return).

I'm not too concerned about heating, I live in central Florida. The
natural warming of the return fuel should suffice.
