I would think they are the same. Not sure why the different part number. When I converted the M108 to mulitfuel, I think I used the multifuel drag link. Just because it was in better shape. Actually, I ended up putting all the steering parts from the mulitfuel on.
Two heating oil tanks hold the finished oil. They are tilted so any water will settle out. I can jack them up to drain any crud out.
The 55 drum seems to work well. Only problem is the oil is dropping to much in temperature by the time it gets through the centrifuge. Being 10 degrees out...
Here's the link to the one in ohio, already done! I imagine it was sold, but the phone number is there for the previous owner, maybe he has contact info for the current owner.

If you compile the threads with the info, pm them to me, and posts you want deleted, I can merge them into one thread. Or if you are really ambitious, post a new thread with all the information/pics from the others.
I would like to do this to multiple things. One of which would be deuce...
Unfortunately, I seem to have lost the pics of building the centrifuge. If you go to the simple centrifuge page, or wolverine tech page, you can get an idea of how to build the rotor. I used a large hydraulic cylinder sleeve for the outside, then welded in and machined the top/bottom on a...
Dave, that is GPH, not GPM. So 4 gallons, single pass, one hour.
Pump is Meter-Flo pump, model number 540-800-111 CCW Driven about 6500 rpm with a 1/2hp motor. It is a pretty small pump, that's why I am running it so fast. Dead heads about 300psi with the 1/2hp motor. Not really the right...
GPH is around 4, depending on where I set the gate valve to the centrifuge. So at 40 gallons it takes about 10 hours for a batch. That's the main reason for the float switch to turn it off automatically.
Last load I got a layer of silver gunk out of it, must have been some metal in that...
Pics of switches and tanks. 3rd pic is the drain and bucket for when the centrifuge turns off and drains the bowl. 4th pic is the pipes under the centrifuge for clean oil on the outside and dirty drain oil on the inside. Last pic is after insulating the heated tank.
See here for my previous setup.

Second version used new centrifuge and deuce air tank above it, old version pump and heater to pump oil through the air tank, and it would drain into the centrifuge. It was just so I...
