Biodiesel/Waste Vegetable Oil (WVO) Filtering Setup EP2 - Filtration assembly.

[@Themanthatcando]

you could probably use a 3 speed grundfos heating pump to pump the oil through your filters into your holding tank

Nice, thanks for sharing. I just got 1 of those type filters except mine has 3/4" npt threads. I want to get a c/fuge too, but they're so dang expensive brand new, mercy. I'd like to get a used 1. I like the single pass type. - take care man

Thanks for your comment, a few people on the bio fuel FB page said I'd wasted my time and money doing a filter setup and I should have spend £100 on a c/fuge rather than filtering so I guess either works.

@@DubworxMedia My 25 micron 5 gallon bucket filter is very handy & useful, even just w/ gravity it filters FAST. I drilled about a 7/8" inch hole in the bottom & drain it into a bigger tank b/c it's so fast. I recommend those.

@@leeisenberg what do you do about dissolved water etc?

[@leeisenberg]

@@DubworxMedia I haven't found much in my oils so far. It should settle to the bottom & u can see it. That's what's cool about a c/fuge, they even pull out water. If it's a small amount I'd probably not use it. I use direct sunlight on top of an old steel horse/water trough to dry clean jugs. Are u having trouble w/ water? I haven't used much WVO, mostly WMO & WATF. You're just doing wvo?

@@DubworxMedia I try to use clear jugs, but I need more, especially cubies/car boys.

Hi pal. Wa just ganna say am running 3 cars of waste oil mixed wi diesel, mk4 golf pd 130, mk4 golf 1998 ahf engine 1.9 tdi and a a3 2.0L bkd 140 bhp of it. Am using a 50 50 mix right now for last 3 months. Havent had no issues of yet. The only thing is in morning wethr its hot or cild morning it just takes 2 ta 3 seconds longer to start. Little puff of white smoke and its good. Also for the first min or 2 of driving its a bit sluggish before the turbo kiks in. After that its wickid. I think the car preforms better. Also when u rag it with diesel u always get a puf of smoke. But with cooking oil it hardly smokes even at high revs under hard acceleration. So yea mate. If its a german go for 50 50. Am ganna be tringing 70 30 in summer.

Sounds like a good experience so far just make sure you do oil changes more often like every 4 or 5k miles maybe 6k if you're doing a lot of driving I've been running my 2.5tdi T4 on 100% when it's warmer & 75% oil when it's cold, no issues so far

@@DubworxMedia yea pal i change oil every 4k miles mate. Dont wanna take any chances. Lol. Also the bigger the engine size the better it runs of oil mate. Its just when weather goes into minus is a bitnof problem.
