Very interesting! I've been looking to get a Jetta that I can turn into a grease car. Your camera man drives me crazy though. HOLD STILL! AAAAUGH!!

good god hold the camera still man....get a new camera man!!

The camera guy sounds like Kermet the Frog!

Except there isn't spike load like in an audio system. Heat by electrical resistance is a constent load. A temp guage is something some kits provide for their electrical heaters (PlantDrive). My system is manual - "the future is now" with fully automated systems that backflush and control heat for you.
-
the capacitor would take the load off of the charging system by acting as a buffer just as it does in power-demanding audio setups.
then, by using a temp sensor and relay, you can regulate the temperature of the veg oil in your tank. (just like the system that operates your radiator fans)
-
What would a capacitor do other than add impedance (resistance)?
These days (25C) I drive for about 5min on the highway and engine oil is at 90C according to my dashboard and coolant is over 45C according to my less than accurate temp guage on my flat plate heat exchanger. That's my summer switch-over point.
With the VegTherm electric heater, vegoil temp will be over 70C.

What you could is that you install a heater for the cooling water that heats up the water before the car is actually warm enough.

@maxl36 ZeroStart is a brand that sells such a thing. Problem with heating the coolant, the engine block will still be cold (or cool). The engine must be hot before you use veggie. Think hot oil on a cold pan still heating up. Carbon will build up very quickly.
