How I filter and dewater WVO in my apartment

This is my filtering setup for filtering WVO in my apartment for my 2002 Ford F-250 with a greasecar conversion. Could also used for bio diesel.

if youre hot filtering youre just melting the fat into the main tank

cold filtering is better as it removes more sediment

???????????? a gravity filter removes the same amount whether the oil is hot or cold. and im not sure what you mean by fat. cold filtering into a gravity bag is so slow its not even worth the time.

awesome video man... thanx!

what kind of car do you use it it? is your engine converted or stock?

[sethgiffin0]

Its a converted F250, I wouldn't suggest putting wvo in stock engine.

[Grabowski420]

From what i understand you can put wvo into a stock diesel motor as long as it has a pre heating system for the oil. What have you done to the motor?

[sethgiffin0]

the heating system is what i meant. i have done nothing to the engine itself.

does anyone know if you can simply mix 50/50 WVO and regular diesel after filtering WVO of course and put directly into car with out conversion?

do u have any experience with centrifuges to clean your oil, the system tht im picturing for my own use would be a sock filter like tht in a high tank and then tht flowing into a centrifuge and into a lower clean tank. I just dont kno anything about centrifuges

@sethgiffin0 hey Seth, nice simple system. However most of the research I have done has come to the same conclusion. If this is Waste Oil then It will have Fats in it. the Fats congeal at a higher temp than the oil. The hotter you get the oil the thinner the fat in the oil gets and allows it to pass through your filtration system. Then as it sits in your car the fats get thick again and can cause unwanted congealing in your fuel lines. This can cause your lines to clog.

Any issues running the F250 on SVO I am thinking of buying a 1990 F250 diesel to convert.

Thanks for uploading.

I would be concerned about the fire risk associated with your method.

It would be especially risky if someone was heating their oil on a a gas hob.

Nice. Thanks for the video, I have always wanted to know how to dewater waste vegetable oil. The other videos are very confusing. Thanks for the simple explanation!
