WVO Collection using Propane turned Vacuum Tank

Here is a walk around of my 500 Gallon Propane tank turned vacuum tank that I use to collect WVO with. I'm open to any constructive criticism you may have and i will also be glad to answer any questions you may have, but i'm no expert!
Thanks for watching!

Maybe I'm just tired tonight but i feel like if people would LISTEN AND WATCH the video there questions would be answered:) My t's are all 3/4" on the upper end of the setup. The suction hose fittings are all 2" in with 2" vacuum hose.

What size are your T's and cutoffs?

I have a 250 gallon tank I'm converting now. Would one pump work with 250 gallon, and how about 1.5 inch hose and couplers do you think that would work or do i need the 2 inch and 2nd pump. thanks

Nice setup. You have the best type of collection system (vacuum). The next step is cleaning the oil and the best system for that is a good centrifuge. Do you have a centrifuge? I build and sell strong, high-capacity centrifuges for this purpose. A centrifuge will clean oil much better and faster than any filter can and you won't have to buy any more filters. You run biodiesel, but if someone else runs a mixture of wvo OR wmo with diesel, then a centrifuge is even more important.

@PaDeuceOwner29 Yes, vacuum collection is the best, and I have a good practical book partly about collecting wmo with a vacuum system. The book also has great information about using various oils as fuel, off-grid power generation and more. It's called "Alternative Energy Secrets". Check out my channel and web sites for more information. I recommend using an air compressor pump for vacuum and compression. You can get a nice yet inexpensive gasoline engine to run the air pump and collect quickly.

Really cool! Excellent work! I wonder how difficult it would be to use the concept on 55 gallon drums for smaller scale? Screw on caps with plumbing and a fitting for compressed air - You gave me tons of ideas! Thanx!

Just saying, here in ny if you permanently mount your tank to you trailer, it becomes a piece of equipment with wheels like a cement mixer or air compressor and there is no licence plate and registration required to tow. Savings for me in ny about $90/yr.

Awesome set up !! I just ordered 2 vacuum pumps. I'm pumping WMO. I just started doing this and don't like pumps already. Thanks. What is the 55 gal drum for?
