Yes that is the goal. Wife is cool with the Vegistroke idea so I am going to get the tank then tank heater last the Vegistroke system. Since Clay did all the hard work I am just going to cheat and copy his set up.

Did the math talk about depressing! You got the SVO right but you want to get WVO it comes free or really cheap. If you want to run it start looking for a source of WVO or 2 or 3 or 4 or...... more sources.

Why not just go with the Vegistroke tank? It looked very similiar to me. Seems like by the time you buy the tank/pay for shipping/and the tank heater you will be in the same place. Not trying to give you a hard time - just trying to understand as I plan to order my kit soon. You are right about Clay's filter/dewater setup - nicest one that I have seen.

No you have it right. If I could get the whole set up in one shot I would. Reality is I can get the tank now, heater in 2 weeks and Vegi System in 4 weeks. In that time I can secure good WVO and build the filter system.

Talk about hijacking a post.

I'm surprised at how hard it has been to get a look at other people's aux tank set up. Jason and James at Vegistroke both told me they did not have any pictures. That was very surprising.

Anyone?

How cool is this custom tank. Looks like it fits below the rail. I really like how it makes use of the dead space in front of the wheel well.
