the unfilterable goop from filtering 50 liters of used restaurant grease for our greasecar…we finally got the kit installed in the bakki (thank you Justin and Greasecar!!!!) The coolant didn’t like being split between three parallel loops: the oil filter cooler, the cabin heater, and the grease tank, so we put the cabin heater and grease tank in series–though it still doens’t flow at all when the engine is idling. Interesting. I’m not sure messing with the oil filter cooling system is the best option, though it would certainly help our grease heat up.
