Filtration Question

It isn't necessary, but it will take a lot more gunk out. No filter can take out what a centrifuge will remove. And all of that gunk is bad for pumps and injectors.

Yes I tried to search, if you filter to .5 micron is centrifuging necessary?
If you are processing WMO blends, then a centrifuge not necessary, but desirable, because WMO is a colloid of soot in motor oil, and that colloid is made up of ultra-fine carbon particles that are suspended in WMO. You can remove it by settling after blending with gasoline at 20%, which will break the colloid, but then it takes 1-2 months of settling for the carbon particles to settle out. Or settle it for a week, then centrifuge it. It is up to how much time and money you have to throw at turning garbage into fuel.

A problem with finding anything with any search tool is to a) know what you are looking for, and b) what you are looking for is spelled correctly. Anyone coming behind you would never be able to find your thread with just Q.

Fixed your title for you as it will help everyone. ;-)
