Except there isn't spike load like in an audio system. Heat by electrical resistance is a constent load. A temp guage is something some kits provide for their electrical heaters (PlantDrive). My system is manual - "the future is now" with fully automated systems that backflush and control heat for you.

the capacitor would take the load off of the charging system by acting as a buffer just as it does in power-demanding audio setups. then, by using a temp sensor and relay, you can regulate the temperature of the veg oil in your tank. (just like the system that operates your radiator fans)

What would a capacitor do other than add impedance (resistance)?These days (25C) I drive for about 5min on the highway and engine oil is at 90C according to my dashboard and coolant is over 45C according to my less than accurate temp guage on my flat plate heat exchanger. That's my summer switch-over point.With the VegTherm electric heater, vegoil temp will be over 70C.

What if a capacitor was used in conjunction with electric heating elements and pulsed? also, how long does it take to heat up the oil using the system you have now?

Good lord. Fire your camera guy. I think Im gonna throw up :-)Good greasecar, though.

40 litres. Not bad. I cacn drive about 6-8hrs @ 100 km/h with that.

hi... how big is the bio tank that is in the trunk?

Hehe. Not my usual camera person. I took what I could find.
