I figured as much. Though, I didn't realize I'd have to drop the tank
to do this... I assumed the fuel pickup was in an accessible place and
I could just unhook the lines from the tank, replace 'em and hook the
new ones back up. Apparently that is not the case? I don't want to
think about dropping a 300 gallon tank. Doesn't sound like fun. I
wonder if I wouldn't be better off to add an auxiliary tank with
straight veggie oil, a pre-heater for it and a switch to flip between
the two.

That's the "big question" for me right now: Take the time and money to
process all of the fuel into bio, or retrofit the coach so it can run
straight veggie oil directly? I have waste veggie oil piling up in my
garage so I need to make a decision soon.
