    my filter setup

    Ok, here is the rest of the story. I filled the top bucket and left it to drain. When I came back, it looked like it overflowed the filter bag. I probably have filtered 70-80 gal of WMO. Time to get new bags!

    my filter setup

    Here is pict in process. As you can see there is a small stream of oil from the top bucket. The filter bag gets about 1/2 full, at most. I figure this is a good estimate of how fast the bags are clogging, I would imaging the line of oil would go up the side of the bag as it fills up. When the...

    my filter setup

    The bag set-up never seems to get above 1/2 full. I thought about using the smaller bag (i even got one), but the peace of mind to know that I will never overflow the bag is worth the space it take up. I also dilute WMO with Gasoline before filtering. It probably 1 gallon gas for 4 gallon oil...

I am doing about 8 gallons/day (2 batches, 4 gal/batch) It probably takes about 30-min to filter. I have never...

I thin the WMO with gasoline, probably 1 gallon gas=4 gallon WMO, before filtering. I do probably 10 gallons/day (2 batches @ 4+...

    my filter setup

    I created a triangle of steel where the filter bag rests. It seems very secure in this holder. Jimma had a good idea I didnt think of, he put 3 filter bags together (50,25,1 micron) in that order. Thanks

    my filter setup

    I have been trying to come up with a way to simply and cheaply filter waste motor oil. I deceided on a stand that would hold a 5-gallon bucket, that would drain through a filter bag, into another 5-gallon bucket. This is what I came up with. I mounted the top bucket on an angle so it would drain...
