material

The best material to make these 2 tanks out of is either 1/8" aluminum or 1/16" stainless steel because plain steel itself will react with the vegetable oil and create polymerization and plastics may crack over time due to not being strong enough to withstand the vibrations of a moving vehicle and the heavy thick veggie oil moving around in there. Also plastic may melt or become soft and the verious fitings may start to leak due to the tanks being heated by the engine coolant that is plumbed into both tanks in order to heat the vegitable oil up so as it can be used as a fuel souce.
