Sounds to me like your heating element is running on 115 volts.
Check wiring. Check breaker box to make sure the 230-double pole breaker is indeed working properly.
Check ground and make sure no current is leaking though the heating element case to frame.

I think folks will find that there is no such thing as a cheap "ready made" processing system that is new.
Spend the big bucks, or build your own (best), or find a used one.
The reason metal processors are expensive is because it takes work to build them. its not just a matter of glueing...

Well then,
BioDiesel will keep just fine in your basement for about 1 to 1.5 years or so. Keep oxygen out of the tank if you can.. keep it as cool as you can and dark.
Keeping the tank full will last longer than leaving it 1/4 full.
Also, if keeping it warm in the winter is a problem, drop...
You should be able to prevent growth in biodiesel by simply heating it to 160 degF to kill off anything living.
