Straight gas in a diesel is a disaster. Gas, diesel, kerosene, ship bunker fuel, etc., all come from crude. We're just putting it back together as black diesel. It may not mimic all of the properties of D2, but we want it to burn like D2. My experience is in a PowerStroke 7.3. You've...

I'll reply more later. You get the filtering part. That's good. The RUG in WMO scares smart people. It doesn't scare me. Tim

Props my earth saving friend. You've got it going on. Simple, functional, cheap. You asked, so here's my take for simple changes to what you have. 1. When you get around to it, put a bulkhead with valve in the very bottom of big blue. Then, you can occasionally drain settled uglies out...

The free oil part sounds killer, some of the rest is hard for an old man to follow. If I get a new source of bulk oil that has sat for a while, I pump from the bottom into a barrel marked "bottom". If there is water in there, you'll find it at the bottom. We put 45 gallons oil into the drums...

I agree that getting it thin enough for the IP is of prime importance. I have no experience with WVO but 5 gallons gas added to 45 gallons WMO has been working really well for the last several months. Two and a half gallons of RUG added to the same quantity hydraulic oil when we can get it...

Again, Let it go. Zach

It sure is purty. Now go get it covered in oil.:grin: You will end up with a few more filters. That is a really strong pump, you may consider putting your three filters on the intake side, that way you can't collapse them from pushing too much through a clogged filter. Keep us posted. Tim

Our current sbc pump self primes like nobody's business. It's a gear pump so it will create a vacuum if it not totally shot. It is however, meant for oil pan placement, and as such does not have a seal around the shaft. Expect some seepage there. If that is the biggest mess you have while...

We've converted several of them. By far the sweetest one we have is based on a machined plate that a fellow in Ohio makes. We bolted a sbc pump to the plate, hooked it up to a 3/4 hp electric motor and fill drums at pick up time in under 4 1/2 minutes. We also use it for filtering by...

We used bag filters in the beginning and I replaced a lot of on board fuel filters on my truck. I think that the bags stretch as they hang there full of oil, plus WMO has a bunch of sub-micron contaminants as opposed to WVO which has bigger chunks. Now we use three spin ons. 22 mic, 15 mic...

A Super Sucker is something that I'll build one day. Just because they are neat. Our current pump fills a 55 in four minutes and twenty seconds. A SS will shave how much time off of that? A SS has to be greater than 55 gal capacity to make sense. Please educate yourself with placarding your...

Some folks report gel problems with the mix of veg oil and motor oil. Based on the following google result, I would give the barrels a token cleaning and fill 'em up. From wikipedia Lecithin can also be used as a release agent for plastics, an anti-sludge additive in motor lubricants, an...

I know how you feel. Been there, thought that. Then I started digging. The EPA has many well written, easy to understand documents that cover the storing, transporting, and handling of waste oil. Compliance may be a bit of a pain, but is most likely worth the effort. As a general rule, OSHA...

WVO blended with diesel or RUG can be made to work well. WMO blended with diesel or RUG (my favorite) work really well. WVO blended/mixed with WMO is a big no no. Reports indicate that the WVO/WMO react with each other to form nasty gel stuff. No experience with that, but the reports come...

I would much rather pay $25 or so (plus give an empty drum) for a drum of known decent oil than fool around with the unknown liquid debris that ends up in most farmers waste barrels. Check Amazon for paste used to check fuel tanks for water. Smear it on a stick and dip the tank. Let me know if...

dStang, I prefer my water block in a higher micron. (We use a 22). Then we send it through a 15 micron. Final is a 5 absolute. This allows a larger final canister that only has particulate to deal with. The 8030 is kinda short and clogged too quick for my taste. We currently final with a...

Yes, gear oil can be used. Yes, it will stink. Yes, it will smoke more than anything else I have tried. I avoid it if possible. Tim

We use the 32"? big bags. Pump it, or dump it, full. It starts seeping through the sides real quick like. I guess the bottom does eventually clog first because it has more oil go through it. You could concievably make a small pocketsized unit that filtered one pint at a time, but filling and...

The best way to push oil through filters is probably the diaphragm pump. Just be careful to not over pressurize the filters and crush or compromise them and send dirty oil straight through them. The best way to pull oil through filters is probably a gear pump. Operating in a vacuum, it is not...
