i've watched quite a number of vids about wvo. after filtering what does one do with the nasty leftover water ? thank you for sharing.

@rocknrolldaddio

I tend to "donate" it to the local restaurant's waste oil reserves

Great video...2 questions:

- Was the pan hot enough? Seems like you were putting your face awfully close without it bothering you?

- What year is your VW?

[joebro32]

@McKinoza

yes, the pan was at 350 degrees. hopefully there would be no splatter since there should be no water present. One can tell if there is water immediately and it is safe to get closer after the initial contact.

2002, I don't think one should use the PD engines which I think started mid 2003 model year

Ever thought about heating the oil with the sun?

I assume you get some sun in southern cal..

I am planning on building a "solar oven" around my barrel...

[maxl36]

Do you also use this pump for collecting oil at the restaurant??

I have the same pump. Different colour though. I was able to almost triple the speed of the pump...

Message me if you're interested. Fairly easy trick...

@joebro32 Taxes on an electric vehicle would be easy. If they assign a base rate for mileage lets say $0.01 per mile thats $100 for every 10,000 miles. That seems fair cuz if you do the math for a gas powered car that gets 32 mpg that travels 10,000 miles works out to be 312.5 gallons of fuel. Now 312.5 gallons of fuel being taxed at $0.42 a gallon works out to be $131.25. I'm content giving a $31.25 tax differential to people with electric cars. They're not killing me with the smog

Hey Mate, Just a little bit of advice about your battery,because concrete contains lime it produces a small electrical charge that will slowly discharge your battery. So you might want to sit it on a piece of wood or something to get it off the floor.

@joebro32 truth is your supposedly allready paying road tax by having a tag on your vehicle. fuel tax is an extra tax. double taxation is supposedly illegal.

@circusboy90210

true, it is the honor system for most people. Although some folks have gotten a knock on their doors from the tax collector
