Having the lid on the drum when the oil is boiling is a big mistake. The steam will condense on the lid and the sides of the drum and run back into the oil. This will mean the oil has to be boiled many times longer than necessary.
Boiling is a poor way to dry oil. Evaporating takes much less energy and practical.
If you have to boil, at least have the drum open and have a small fan blowing into the drum. It will speed up the process a lot but is is still an inefficient and dangerous
Wow. That's probably the cleanest I've seen used motor oil as an end product. Great job

you are going to spend more money boiling the water out of it w/ propane than the money ur going to save using biodiesel!!!!

IK thought that heating the oil to 130 f makes the water go to the bottom along with the glycerin.
