We do it a little different. Have a 5,000 gal tank outside behind our shop that is in an enclosed tin shed to keep out of the elements. The suction hose from tank to heater is wrapped in insulation with heat tape, then the hose is about 40' long inside the shop to warm up more before it hits the burner. We have a Shenandoah waste heater, never had much trouble with the heater in the last 10 years. If there is trouble, it has to do with filtering the oil prior. We've got an old pickup setup with a 300 gal tank in back and suction that runs off the vacumm to go around and collect oil from pivots and/or neighbors with barrels full. Once full we pressurize the tank and blow it into the big 5,000 gal tank. No matter how you do it, you're going to make a mess once in a while...
