I am only running my diesel through a hot exchanger for about 1-2 minutes before turn off. Will this really make a massive difference to it siezing up or not?

electricbluebadger:
Prob not gonna cause any problems then, but worth remembering if you ever run out of veg and have to run on diesel for an extended period....:)

Cheers Steve

muddyjames:
yes, I have thought about that predicament I might get myself into! I am thinking about getting a valve and put it into the hot water pipes to the heat exchanger so if I do have to fill with diesel for a ling time I can turn the water off to the exchanger. Can I get a valve to fit the water pipes though? they are the same diameter as the heater matrix pipes. 1/2" I think?
