    i would be making something like that.. coil some aluminium hose/tube but i wouldnt have the holes as they are i'm going to make one with the fuel in the top and out the bottom like that one with it all sealed except the lid, then have a bung in the bottom to drain the water

    Don't use hose ... it will not conduct the heat from the fuel. Best to use aluminum tubing heating contractors use for gas pilot lines.

    Go to a heating supply wholesaler and ask for "3/8 aluminum pilot tubing"
