Diesel/WVO heated filter assembly

I came across this heated fuel filter assembly that might be great for some WVO people here. It is pricey but factor in the cost of running coolant lines to a tank and a heat pump for the fuel.

Thats all well and good, but you often need a heater in the tank to get the WVO flowing. A heated filter assembly is just one piece of the puzzle. It does look nice though.

tecgod13, you said it right. Heating the oil just before it goes thru the filter is very important but you need to heat the oil at the point where the oil leaves the tank. I might also add that Volkswagon has a heater that does the exact same thing you can usually get for less than $50.00
