filtering

Hey,

I just moved to the Bay Area and was lucky enough to score a good grease contact right off. However, the place I am living is pretty small and I'm not sure if I will be able to set up a filtering apparatus here.
I'm looking to do a trade. Basically ill give you oil, alot really, and you give me back some of it filtered. I'm not sure what a fair ratio would be maybe you keep 60, and I keep 40%. If you lived close enough to me I'd be down to help with the filtering too.

let me know what you think! email me back instead of posting here. thanx.

For diesel engines prior to '95... for instance, a 1983 M-B 240D... What particle size should biodiesel and WVO be filtered down to?

How about for newer diesel engines?

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. )

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.

I am thinking about purchasing a centrifuge filtering system if no one else out there offers the service in the Las Vegas area. Does anyone need this type of service in Las Vegas? Will trade service for wvo.
thanks

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

Hase anyone ever used a Fram Fuel Filter: Coalescer & Water Seperator Assembly to filter out water from WVO???

New to the forum, but I've been running on grease for about 3 years.

Over the past couple of years as I've been heating (about 95-100 degrees F) my grease prior to filtering. Sometimes I've noticed that the grease gives off really noxious fumes. The fumes don't really smell that bad or hurt my nose, but they burn my eyes really bad. I've only noticed the fumes on hot or warm grease. Not on cold grease.

It's not related to my grease as my dad has the same problem and has totally different grease and suppliers. We both do heat our grease prior to filtering.

Any ideas?

"This site is for people who have converted their Diesel fueled vehicles to run on Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO) and are looking for ideas on how to gather and filter Waste Vegetable Oil (WVO) to use as fuel."

"When it comes to pre-filtering oil, the SVO folks are the experts, regularly filtering down to 5 and even 1 microns. If oil is first filtered to 10-30 microns then heated to about 80-90F and held there in an insulated drum for 8 hours, the top 2/3 will be water free. Co-ops tend to heat the oil first and filter while hot using pumps for speed. Some will use centrifugal separators, again for speed. Centrifuges may also hold promise for removing FFA's. Most individuals, however, seem to be using gravity filtering the oil before heating and settling because of the ultra low cost and simplicity."
