This is not your standard cheap $20 to $30 filter. This high-performance fuel filter can be used with either a dual-tank or single-tank conversion from diesel fuel to straight vegetable oil (SVO) or waste cooking oil (WVO). It can even be used as a standard diesel fuel filter if you desire better filtration with an included water separator. Uses replaceable filter elements that reside inside the filter housing. The barbed fittings included are for 3/8 inch fuel hose. If you are using it with 5/16 or 8mm ID hose you will need to buy new fittings.

FlowGlow SVO Fuel Boost Heater with Thermostat Control
Kent calls this his "flowglow" because it is a straight flow-through fuel heater that uses a glow plug to produce the heat. Since the glow plug is submerged in vegetable oil fuel, it is very efficient and will last a long time.
