    Stretch's used oil centrifuge

    Gimp, What are the specs on the pump and recommended PSI to run it at? I was toying with the idea of running the pump off the M35, for the sole purpose of getting from the source, to the tank in the truck, and then to my holding tank in the barn. From there my other system takes over. Do you...

    Stretch's used oil centrifuge

    You will have to let me know how the air operated pump works out. Are you going to drive it off the MV, or run it from a stationary compressor. Do you know how many GPM your pump is? And what kind of CFM will it need t sustain operation. I am very interested in the air operated pump for the...

    Stretch's used oil centrifuge

    nf, In my setup, I don't put goo through the pump. I go from the pick up tube, to the inlet of the prefilter, through the 5 micron filter, then the pump, and a choice of back into the drum to cycle through again, or directly into the centrifuge then back into the drum. This way you don't mess...

    Stretch's used oil centrifuge

    Nf6x, Concerning the question about the longivity of the 5 micron filter set up. Double edge sword. The oil I get ~ 70 gallons to date all came from friends wanting to get rid of the stuff they have had in their garage. Lord only knows what was in it, but I did catch on one occation that a...

    Stretch's used oil centrifuge

    Here is a quick snapshot of the batch processor (cold method). Still in the process of putting it all together. The motor and pump are still not assembled, but the centrifuge, 5 micron filter/water separator, and filler funnel are assembled. When I get it complete, I will do a full write up...

    Stretch's used oil centrifuge

    Mark, See if they have a CFM rating on the air pump, the deuce will probably run it, but don't count on the specs they may provide in terms of GPM. Also it would be good to check with the rest of the folks on here as to how long you should keep a deuce running in a stationary manner at an RPM...

    Replacing 9x20 NDT with regular truck tires

    Hey guys, I am looking for a little advice on replacement road tires for the deuce. I would very much like to remove the NDTs and replace with street truck tires, but after lookiing through many many threads on the site, here is what I am looking to do: The M35 will be driven mostly on the...

    Transfer questions....

    DM, If you’re going to be pumping / collecting a significant amount of oil, you may want to go with something like this: http://www.mcmaster.com/ Search on 41915K85 I am also using the oil to heat the barn in a waste oil heater. In Ohio, I will go through about 500 gallons just for that. I...

    Stretch's used oil centrifuge

    Thanks Bjorn, I would like to dump the oil and get a base line of what the duece is doing "oil wise" that is. It would be interesting to know as the report NAPA provides appears very useful.

    Thank you to all who contributed to the sampling process. This is very interesting. Can you comment on the amount of oil you had to send them? How it was packaged? Thanks TG

    Finally got it!

    Thanks, I was aware of the insurance, I think that common. I use State Farm same thing. I guess it's just a calculted risk of getting pulled over without a plate people are willng to risk it. Your trip wasn't too far, I would do the same thing. For 284 miles, I guess I will stick with the...

    50/50 Mix for Multi

    All, I think there is a great mix of many individuals doing things just a little differently. This is great because it allows us to gain the experiences of many, and based on our own unique situations with as many unique constraints, I would love to formalize a best practices write up for all...

    Finally got it!

    USMC, Did you have some type of temp registration for the truck, insurance?.. I would love to get one from GL, but how can you take it over the road legally, even towing it, doesn't it need to be registered? With all the waiting for the SF97, and getting it titled, and then registered..bla...

    Current draw from batteries with Master switch off

    Ok, The dash lights being left on would have been way too easy right..... The lights are off, no doubt, as a matter of fact, I didn't see any of the dash lights come on when I was playing with the switch, unless they are so dim, even in low light conditions you can't see them. (totally dark...

    It's dark enough, I am going to run outside and slap the "-" on, and check for lights. Thanks for the suggestions. TG

    Current draw from batteries with Master switch off

    Guys, My deuce was sitting for a few days, and I noticed it didn't have a lot of crank left in the 6tls. It did start, I let it run for a few minutes ~ 15 or so. Couple of days later, no crank. I have since charged both batteries, 12 volts at a time. When I connected the batteries up, I...
