Burning used oil

[REDWOLF]

I just finished building my gravity used oil cleaner. So i can start mixing some used motor oil in with the fuel for the somer time to help with fuel cost. The fillter i am useing for the used oil fillter is a wool 10 micron rated fillter. Do you think that is good for what i am doing? Will post pics of the system when i get more time.

10 is not small enough for a CUCV injection pump. That size of carbon will kill it. You want as small of rating you can get. 6 or less.

10 4 Will have to find a smaller fillter cartradge or a total diferent fillter and probly a pump to push or pull it thure the fillter. I do not think gravity alone will do it. Any thoughts on a fillter?

I would hit the wix filter site and you should be able to find a number.

I thought the stock filter on a CUCV was 10 micron.

Fleg you are correct just checked the fram p3940a , wix 33136 and acdelco tp1006 and the micron rating for these filters are all 10 micron!

Post pics of setup!

well Id spin the oil out I seen the slime that came from the centrifuge. I'm rethinking filters might not take out all the bad stuff.

i use the bag filters and have a few rare earth magnets thrown in the first two bags just to make sure there is as little metal shavings as possible. beyond that i filter to one micron. it takes overnight in the bags for 5 gallons but at least its free

pics?

You can get the filter bags for a very fair price. +filter +bag | biodiesel supplies

I use an old arm buster 1/2" electric drill to drive a big block Chevy oil pump that I modified to pump my WMO through three Culligan cartridge filters - 1st is 20 micron, 2nd is 10 micron, 3rd is 5 micron. The drill is slow enough and yet powerful enough to pump at about 10 - 15 psi and I can fill a 5 gallon container in a minute or so.

Couple of budy's of mine are using 2 house water filters and pumping it through for there waste oil, first one is a 10 micron second is a 5.
