Has anyone had experience with this type of centrifuge?

Ah, I thought we still had a biodiesel section?
Which model is it? I know people were using those for it and seemed to like those over the other brands.

I have had mine for 2 or three years now. Have probably run 750 to 1000 gallons through it. No problems with durability, it is dirt simple. It works great. Before starting with the centrifuge I had lots of filter issues in vehicles. Its all gone now. The only filter issue I have had since the centrifuge is saturated fats solidiying in cold weather after centrifuging if I did it with oil too hot. As long as my oil is cool when I fuge it I can even eliminate those issues.

I will run way more fuel than that.

I hope you got the pressure regulator with it. I tried it without a pressure regulator and over-pressurized the rotor. I ordered a replacement rotor, but I ordered the wrong one by mistake. Jay at PA-Biodiesel made it right. Thanks Jay!

I've posted pics of my set-up on this forum somewhere. Same unit you got; 65 GPH I think it has already paid for itself. :)

I bought the one in the picture. It has a ball valve and gauge. I didn't see one with a regulator unless it's the same thing. I burn 100-150 gallons a month sometimes so I hope to pay for it in a month or two.

Great company and excellent product. I've processed over 1,000 gallons with zero issues. I only stopped using it because the rest of the system ( pump, hoses, transfer setup) needed to be replaced. I was using a pump from an Acura legend I believe. It didn't like the heavy metal shavings in my cutting oil.
