filter

Hello,
we're heading through the bay area on a road trip tomorrow (Thursday June 17th), my friend who lives there was able to find 50 gal of veg for us but it's un-filtered. We're trying to figure out a way to filter this stuff. If we found some 1-micron (or so) sock filters we could make a system out of buckets (i think) but I can't seem to find a location in the bay area to buy bag style filters. agh! Any help/ideas would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks,

-Ben

P.S. if anyone in the bay area would like to trade we could give all this unfiltered WVO in exchange for some filtered veg? Plus a little cash for your time :)

I have a 1980 Mercedes 300sd Turbo diesel with a love craft conversion and around 240k miles. The previous owner ran the car on SVO and keep up with routine maintenance. I was originally running the car on biodiesel with no problems, it was a little slow to start in the mornings, but thats to be expected. I no longer have biodiesel available to me, so I moved to WVO.

I let my WVO settle in 5 gallon cubes for two weeks, pour the top layer through two filters (not sure of micron rating because previous owner gave them to me and didn't know) into a 55 gallon barrel. I then let that oil settle for a week then pump from there into the car. I checked the oil for water (pan test showed little water), it comes from a Vietnamese place that changes their oil twice a week, and put it in a glass and shone a light through it and could detect no particles. The oil, as far as I could tell, was good to go.

About half way through my first tank of WVO I began having starting issues (weather has been typical southern California weather). After the glow plug light turns off, I try to start the car and it tries to turn over, but shows no sign of starting. I hold this for about 30 seconds, stop, turn off the ignition, turn it back on, wait for the glow plug light, then try again. After about another 30 seconds the car, out of no where, fires up and runs fine. I do not know what is causing this problem (my oil, conversion, filters, glow plugs) I have no idea.

Any advice would be great, thank you.

Hi,
I have a vehicle that runs off of grease and I currently get grease from a friend who collects and filters the grease for me. However, I am going to be traveling and would like to build a simple, easy to use system to collect and filter grease while I'm on the road. Does any one have any suggestions or simple designs for such a system? I'm not worried about cost so it would be nice to see a bunch of different options.

My New York City to San Francisco road trip is starting on 4/24.

I am driving a 1984 Mercedes 300D turbo with minimum conversion.

I'm looking for greasers and WVO co-ops along I-80 or I-70.

Please email me ASAP if you are going to have surplus filtered WVO for sale.

My cellphone has spotty internet access and I will miss incoming email,SMS and text.

PLEASE EMAIL ME BEFORE 4/24 so I can plan all my stops.

=====

I ran a WVO co-op in Redwood City,CA (25 south of San Francisco)

I has 150 to 250 gallons of filtered WVO during the spring and
summer season.

Please free to email me if your are coming to visit Northern California!

Cheers,

Vincent

Hey everyone, Ive got a Near new Racor 1000fh.

Just email stratman42(a)hotmail.com if youre interested, only $180 gets it!!

Complete SVO filtration system, purchased from Greasecar.com for $910 and never used. (There are no problems with it; but I have stopped running my Jetta on grease.) I'm asking $750 OBO.

"The 110 VAC stationary fuel filtration kit heats and filters oil up to 18 gallons per minute and down to one micron. This simple system can fit in the corner of your garage and will allow you to keep your vehicle filled up with clean vegetable oil even in the chill of winter.

"With Greasecar's home fueling station, filling your vehicle is simpler and quicker than going to the gas station. Operation is a breeze; pour used vegetable oil into the 55 gallon barrel (not included), turn on the barrel heater to warm the oil. Once the oil is warmed to between 100-150F the heater is turned off and the pump is turned on to flow the warmed oil right through the bag filter housing to transfer clean oil to your vehicle or storage containers at a rate of up to 18gpm."

Kit includes:
110 VAC 18 gallon per minute fuel transfer pump with inlet strainer, over pressure bypass and wall mounting bracket.
120 VAC silicone thermostat controlled 55 gal barrel heater. Adjustable thermostat allows high heat for quick warm-up or lower settings for steady heating.
Aluminum bag filter housing rated for 25 gallons per minute and 300psi with steel stand.
Pressure gauge for monitoring filter quality.
Dispensing nozzle with trigger lock.
Reinforced 1 inch I.D. suction and discharge hoses
3 bag filters (10-5 micron nominal high capacity , 5-1 micron nominal high capacity and 5 micron nominal. )

WVO Centrifuge filtration unit for sale. Never buy another filter. Comes with filter, heater, presure gauge and pump. You will need to supply the barrell of WVO, then just plug it in. This is a unit that I personally used for about 6 months. It is in perfect working order and produces clean filtered WVO.

I also have my WVO conversion kit still on my wrecked 86 mercedes, if your interested in my kit. The car is beyond repair but the kit was unharmed. The conversion kit was built from parts I purchased from Greasecar. The fuel tank is a custom built tank from an original mercedes fuel tank. Includes heat exchanger.

Let's talk a price on this if interested in my conversion kit.

Located in southern Ohio

hi,
wondering if anybody knows of a cooperative in the d.c area that either sells or provides filtration services for waste vegetable oil. i'm planning to convert my car, but don't think i'll have the funds to be able to purchase the filtration system just yet. seems like there's a market for this down here, but can't find anyone. there's a few biodiesel coops, but can't find anything for wvo.
any help would be be appreciated. really looking forward to getting on the grease wagon!
thanks,
chris

NSH GER used oil regeneration system is particularly suitable to filtering used internal-combustion engine oil including diesel engine oil, gasoline engine oil and used hydraulic oil, other used machinery's lubrication oil.

Looking for used fryer oil,,,save on dumpster fees and stay in compliance, go green and recycle it. Save the planet

I have been running vehicles on wvo for three years and using the same filtering set up for two years. I have used the same filters on my vehicles for three years. The filters on my current wvo burner are getting clogged after only 15-20 gallons used. I don't have a clue what is going on. Any advice?
Thanks,

Golden Fuels Racor / Fass IOS (Integrated One Shot Filtration System)

This was purchased from Golden Fuels and was in my vehicle for less than two months. Due
to some severe financial crisis I am forced to sell the vehicle, so my installer pulled this out and
cleaned it up for me.
It is in perfect shape and works beautifully. New this sells for $795 plus shipping. I am only
looking to get $649 plus shipping, obo.

Basically I am selling the Fass transfer pump, and the Racor 1000FH3122 with the new Thermostatically Controlled Heater.

The legendary Turbine Series is a fixture whenever engines demand the confidence of heavy duty, high capacity water separation and fuel filtration. In addition, GFS has pioneered a 12V, 300 watt internal heater capable of heating the oil up to 165°! The heater activates when the vehicle is turned on, and turns off when it reaches a temperature of 165 degrees. No other Filter has this feature. GFS has sold thousands of Racor Filters worldwide and have tested the AquaBloc Elements in the shop proving that this is the best protection for a diesel engine money can buy. Don’t settle for an off-name brand! Use what the pros use! Racor 1000FH31222 internally heated Filter (160° - GFS Exclusive) is the most cost-effective Filter, with about 100 GPH flow rate on SVO and is
recommended for all applications.
Racor 1000FH3122 Inline Filter Includes:
Dimensions: 22” H x 7”W
· Racor 1000FH3122 2 Micron Filter with 140° Internal heater – GFS Exclusive
· Racor Bushings
· Extra 2 Micron Element

--- if you are interested, I am also selling a Trekker 60gal. indestructible PolyethyleneTank we got at the same time as the IOS system.

Could someone please make basic suggestions on how to filter veg oil collected from restaurants?

I have just started collecting,
and I would like to remove as much water and gunk as I can.

Any suggestions about what pumps,filtration bags,etc I could use would be welcome.

Hi all,
I am purchasing filter bags online and I don't know if I should buy the polyester ones (2$) or the polypropylene ones (3$)?

Thanks for you help,

Eric

OK I am setting up my WVO system and am still undecided on my filtering system, Main filter and on car. I guess it is a toss up between the bag style filters and the drop in cylinders. I have a couple questions though. First off how many microns are those cylinder water filters they sell at wall mart for water. they are 3 for $7 so if I coould work those into the system that would cut costs. Also I had an Ide, Mcmaster sells a screen sampler kit in which you can buy 10 6"X6" stainless screens ranging from 18X18 to 60X60 mesh size (openings per linear inch) (PN 92405T15) or ranging from 70X70 to 500 X500 (PN 92405T17) I was thinking these screens could be setup in series to filter alot of the greae, I figure the 500X500 would get down into particulates then just finish it off with a 5 micron poly filter.The stainless screen could probably be easily cleaned to be used over and over. I'm just throwing stuff out there I could be totally off on this but thats why I am getting some of your o

What does everyone think about this deal.

Say you are a restaurant owner or heavy user of vegetable oil and you have a lot of waste oil to get rid of. Most people are beginning to realize that they can filter their own oil instead of paying to have it taken away.

Do you think a restaurant owner would let me (or anyone) filter their oil for them, and take a commission in oil for the service?

So say Joe Restaurant Owner has a 50 gallon tank of waste vegetable oil, but he doesn't want to filter it, but he has a diesel and would like to use it to drive or make a blow torch or something.

If I filtered it for him, and took half, am I being too greedy? Or is this a good deal?

Thanks for any sort of reply.
