Solar Edwards processor

[Blacksmith Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Blacksmith]

Hi,
Got hold of a 200lt stainless solar tank with the booster heater ,I'm thinking of standing it on it's end so the heater element is on the bottom to use as a processor.Has anyone had experience with this?
I've never made biodiesel but have been collecting fat for the last couple of years,trouble is it goes semi solid in winter .
Would a 44 gal. drum with a gas ring under be ok as a pre heater?
Any help gratefully received.

Hi blacksmith, yes a 44 with a gas ring underneath would work fine to heat ya oil up. I have been using a gas ring under a 13 gallon drum for a few years now to heat up my used animal fats to process into bio.
