yep, mostly right.
The oil is removed from the fryers at operating temperature, so any water is boiled off prior to pumping it into the drums, during this process it is also filtered (and pumped back into the vat to ‘wash down’ any chunkys). So when I get the oil it is VERY clean, I then cold filter it through a 5micron bag filter.
I have mounted a nice gear pump on the chassis rail down near the tank that will circulate the oil constantly while the ign is on. This preheats the entire tank, melts any high temp melting point oils and removes ALL vacuum on the fuel line/lift pump.
Steel tanks are not good to store oil in, especially in the car for one reason: they grow algae (or something!?) a funny red growth develops where the oil splashes up onto the steel, and is exposed to the air. Good thing the stock tank is plastic. I have used a plastic tank in another car for many years with no issues.
I don’t have any experience with running a pollak up to the temperatures I am with this setup, but time will surely tell! I have a few ideas on heavy a duty replacement I wouldn’t mind trying out
