Yeah I tried to follow what Bruce has done but I had this black electric box in the same location where Bruce installed the heat exchanger. I thought of moving it but the wiring does not allow it. This is why I thought of this bracket.

And if you use the original tank for veg oil, I found I could get the filters to last longer i I used 2 one on the original fuel feed line, and one on the (original return) line and used that to feed as well, both into a T fitting. By using 2 in paralell they can get a lot more blocked and still feed enough oil to keep the car going at 110.
I am going to use the car's originsl pump only and it will be after the filter and the fuel selector. I wrote to Bruce asking about what brand pump he used for the second fuel pump and he told me that he is using the original pump and it works fine with the oil.

If you used the original tank for veg oil, did you change the fuel line to a larger diameter to take it to the HE or how did you do it? Have you got a thread with your car conversion to learn from you please.

Cheers
