I've been searching all i can find is info about ''vow2'' inline glowplug heater for SVO, but there website no longer exists.
when i look for inline heater all i can find is coolant ''plumb'' in ones i would like to fit a switch controlled glowplug heater to allow me to run more on SVO.
where can i get one from? or is a case of making one?

this has been covered to death
but in short a glow plug wont supply anywhere near enough energy
thats why the aforementioned company no longer exists.
the product was crap.

No matter how you research it, the twin tank set-up or making proper bio diesel are the best options. I'm sorry I didn't get uncle Terrence' advice from the start. It would have saved a lot of messing about.

i made a twin tank system from scratch going the coolant route, it only cost about £80 and it ran sweet as anything once warmed up, you couldn't tell the difference at all but i wouldn't use a glow plug heater as discussed elsewhere. coolant is the way to go.
