Heating oil/diesel mix

Is there any danger in heating my veggie oil cut with #2? It's about about 90% veggie oil and I'll be using a bucket heater like thishttp://www.mytscstore.com/detail.asp...roductID=15554

I'm thinking that with the block heater and the veggie already hot I should be able to use the eggie oil in the first few minutes.

As long as your veggie oil is about 160* your fine, make sure its filtered well though. Most guys running SVO/WVO use coolant lines run through the tranfer tank to heat the oil...I wouldn't want to have an open electrical connection in my fuel tank...even if the flashpoint is about 400*, just my opinion, good luck.

There is a coolant line throught the tank, and through the feed line in two spots. Just trying to cut down on the wait time.
