[Vwdiesel] second tank heated

[Tad]

Interesting project Brian.  One drawback I see with WVO is the amount of
time it takes to get the oil up to temp.  With the slow warmup of a diesel,
it seems like unless you're on a road trip you'd practically be wherever
you were going before the oil got hot enough to use.

Also be sure you leave sufficient time to purge the WVO out of the system
before you shutdown, or you'll have problems on the next startup.
