Duda diesel bag fillters

[REDWOLF]

Has anyone ever used the duba diesel 1 micron bag fillters to fillter used motor oil.

 

[chevyCUCV]

I ordered a huge sheet of it before

Tried it for gravity filter, and that took a looooong time.
So if you can pressurize it go for it.

I've used them. Just going to a 1 Micron no other filtering I could do about 50 gallons on the 1micron 4x16 sock filter before it was clogged. I gravity fed and it was horribly slow.

 

[cbvet]

I use them. I usually start with a 25 micron then follow up with a 1 micron. I use a pump or air pressure to push oil through filters. I don't heat the oil or dilute it first.
And I have no idea why my computer has started typing in italics!

Can they be washed or cleaned and re-used, or are they one-time use only?

I guess they can be washed, especially the higher micron ones, but I don't bother. They are really cheap.
The oil I usually get is from propane forklifts and it's pretty clean. I can run about 400 gallons through the 25 micron and 300 through the 1 micron.
With dirtier oil it might be worth the time to wash them out.

Wouldn't suggest reusing the filters - used diesel motor oil - it gets real dirty and stains.

I use them. I have a gravity set up, where a 5 gallon bucket drains throught the bag filters, then into another 5 gallon bucket below. I use 3 bags 1micron on the outside, then a 10micron and a 25 inside of the others. I thin the motor oil and ity takes about 2hours to do a 5 gallon batch. I really like the Duda diesel bags.

RAN, can you post some pics of your setup? Whear can i purchase the DUDA bags on a local basis or is it better to buy on line?

 

[randini]

The cheapest I have found is amazon.com for the bags. I will find a pic of my set-up. Good Luck!

 

[randini]

Here is my set-up. The top bucket is on a slight incline, and has a 3/16 hole at the bottom. It drains into the filter bags, then into a funnel on top of the bottom bucket. I can do almost 5 gallons at a time. I mix some gas to thin the WMO. I filter all year round. I use 3 bags, the most inside bag is 50 micron, next bag is 10 micron, last bag is 1 micron. Takes about an hour or two for 5 gallons. Works for me, ood luck.

Re: Duba diesel bag fillters

I use the Duda Diesel filter bags with the adapter that has 1" threads. I have a cheap 1/2 HP pump from amazon that has actually far exceeded what I expected for its price. I stack 25, 10, then 5 micron bags to progressively filter in one pass. This extends the filter life of the smaller micron bags. I tried gravity fed rigs and it was just too slow, and messy.

Ran, your frame you picture did you make that or purchace it? That is exactly what im looking for .
Simple , NO electricty,
What ratio @ 5gallon drops do you use? 1to 4 or less?

PS looked on amazon couldn't find any Duda bags. I did find their main web site.I will be ordering today!!!

 

[goldneagle]

I use the 100, 25 micron first pass. I use the 5, 1 micron on the last stage for final filtering into a 275 gallon tote. They fit through the top opening.

 

[randini]

I just mix gasoline at the ratio I feel like. During the summer I use very little, maybe a quart-ish/4 gallon WMO. During the winter, I use maybe a gallon / batch. Truck runs fine. Its harder to start when cold. I also buy straight Diesel in the tank sometimes during the winter. Maybe 50/50 diesel/WMO during the winter. Its hard to make a mistake.
I just welded the frame myself. I had some old fence pieces. The horizontal piece is shaped like an "A". The filter bag fits in this piece.

Here is a link to the type of bag I use. they have different sizes and Micron rating.

I use the duda filters and have for about two years. I use a larger micron first, then go down to a 5 micron. I mix more gas or diesel in to my tank in the winter for easier starting. No problems.
