I currently working on a Biodiesel Reactor to convert WVO into biodiesel and I'm one item short. I need an electric water heater. If any body in the SE Michigan or NW Ohio area has a used one they could part with, please let me know. I have posted a pic in my gallery of phase 1 of the project. I will keep the forum updated with my progress.

 

Try contacting a plumber.
Many times they have perfectly good heaters that they have to pay to get rid of.

 

Check yours. I was in the market for one and I had my own right under my nose. While having some other plumbing work done the plumber noticed that my heater was 19 year old, and the average life span is 10-15 years. I counted my blessings that the old one didn't explode and put in a new one, transferring the old one to the garage for its new mission in life.
Oh, and the new one has a lifetime warranty.
