I'm getting a little ahead of myself since I'm still Deuceless, but I have these parts kicking around and I'm starting to think how to connect them up.
I have an electric water heater for a house that was replaced before I realized all it really needed was a new heating element. It's basically a 40 gallon heated tank.
I think I could use this to hold and preheat oil for filtering (through something like the Simple Centrifuge). I know as the oil level drops it would expose and burn out the heaing elements, so I'd have to start with a full tank, preheat, then tun off the heater and run the oil through. If I ever started with less than a full tank it would have to go through cold (or wait for a full tank).
Using a 'fuge like the Simple Centrifuge or the Wolverine filter by one of the SS members, does oil have to recirculate through the system more than once to get the level of filtering desired or is one pass enough? Slow is fine if it makes one pass work. As long as it filters fuel faster than I use it up for normal driving I don't care how fast it is.
