Cool, No worries

As far as I understand it, the block is iron and slowly rusts, the hoses are rubber and slowly decompose. The scale buildup is seen in hoses when changed show that something is floating around. The coolant filter picks this gunk up and prevents it from plugging up small ports. On other coolant...

I apologize if I came across as criticizing. I was just posting what I did. No offense meant.

I attached my filter unit to the side of my heater. In the winter I have the coolant hoses attached to my Heater and the filter plugged. The other three seasons of the year I have the heater plugged and the filter plumbed in. Not elegant but simple and three seasons is the year is better than...

My truck smokes on all fuels. More on WMO less on straight diesel.

Check out dudadiesel.com, great place for filtration supplies and information.

Any update? He is driving right through my neck of the woods. I80 is 70 MPH... Fun in a MV.

I've been around, just creeping.

Please search for "my oil filtration method". In that posting you will see how I have my filtration system set up. You could easily substitute canister filters for the centrifuge that I have in my setup. Preheating the oil greatly increases the rate at which it will flow. As far as the mixture...

Please do not mock my wiring on the heater. I know it is ugly but it works. Just don't poke your fingers around there. Anyway on to the rest of my setup. Once the oil flows through the centrifuge it gravity feeds back out of my garage into a 100 gallon storage tank. I use this tank as a...

You will have to forgive the maze of hoses in the background of those pictures. When taken I was filling the spare tank that I have in the back of my truck. On to the heater. In my last post I discussed how I pump from my 300 gallon holding tank into my High tank. Once the high tank is full I...

Hi there gentleman, Gimpy brought this thread to my attention and I would like to throw my setup into the mix. My setup is configured to work with a centrifuge but could easily work with a filter setup. I will do a posting for each component in order of the process. Most of the components should...

The longer you allow the oil to sit the better it will separate on it's own. No additives needed if allowed to sit long enough.

Might I suggest using an old water pressurization tank. I cut a hole in the top sized to fit an old party sized helium tank. I then cut out the rubber diaphragm in the pressurization tank and welded half of the helium tank with a hole drilled in the bottom into the hole. The advantage of the...

Depending on how new the truck is to you I would drive it. I drove mine alot while still pretty new to me and through that got to know my truck REAL well. I did have problems with it and they were dealt with. As for worrying about driving on the highway, I have no problem with it at all. Like...

Me as well please. Thank you in advance

The heater as designed is inherently pretty safe. With the thermostat attached it will only reach the temperature that you have set it at. With the heating element mounted below the output level it should never be exposed to air. It will remain submerged. So if it is plugged in for two hours or...
