Hey there bob you need to look into centrifuge this way old school way of filtering. Everyone look at pabiodiesel supply thay guy has the best prices on centrifuges the only way to go for filtering oil. You can even filter motor oil as well.
@teel6060 US Filtermaxx centrifuges are factory made with high precision commercial machines, NOT "home made". I think USFiltermaxx offered some insight to oil cleaning here. He pointed out problems with settling and filtering in direct response to the video and gave the solution. The message was unique and sincere. That's not spamming. It's helpful. If you don't have enough money for a centrifuge, then that's a different problem.
Furthermore, if the long-period settling worked as well as a centrifuge, then you wouldn't need those filters. If you do need the filters then that means you still have particles larger than about 10 microns, which means the oil has not been cleaned well enough. The most damaging particulates are about 4 microns or less, which that filter will never remove. I build and sell high quality centrifuges that remove sub-micron particulates. Check out my videos.
That's how it should be done if you don't have a centrifuge. However, it gets to be a hassle and it takes too long. With a good centrifuge, you could clean all that oil (you have quite a bit) to a higher standard in 1 day. I've done the settling thing. You always have that problem of completely separating the last bit of oil from the junk.
I've read of a Bear that attacked a Rabbit and smashed it's hatchback window to eat the plastic fuel tank of WVO. Depending where you are larger animals could be of concern! Keep up the great vids!
I like your RW Beckett pump unit, not quite a centrifuge but fine for the money (I pick up tons of those from discarded furnaces at the dump but you guys can also check out scrap yards, most buy as motor scrap for $5 or so & sell for about $10 or there abouts.
But I think you settle far too much & end up hassling alot with the cubie method. Personally a white plastic 55 gal drum or ibc tote should be better & in the case of the tote you could just drain off the water/crud.
Try adding your biodiesel glycerine to the left over waste garbage oil. I have found that the glycerine will clear up most of the crap to bring back more of the oil than just leaving it. making aver 10,000Ltr a week we get a lot of waste from our collected oil. Using glycerine is the perfect solution.

USFiltermaxx, please quit spamming all over Youtube. Not interested in your home made high priced centrifuges!
