Unless your oil is really nasty, thats a waste of time. I tried a 10 and 1 to begin with, and took the 10 out.
Thanks...that is a good money saving tip to know.

I double/tripple stack the 1 micron filters for waste motor and hyd oil. 50 micron is for veggie oil with chicken bones and french fries still in it.
150 isn't enough heat to boil the water out of oil. It would work great for warming oil enough get it to flow...but not hot enough IMO for water removal. 212 F is boiling point at sea level.
If water has to boil in order to evaporate where does the water go off my driveway when it is only 70 deg. or so?
Has anyone tried this method to get rid of water? Any opinions would be welcome.
If you use the drop in water heat element , use a 220 v elvement on connect to 120v . Insulate the barrel . Let temp rise to 150 ish then turn off the element and let it sit overnight . Pump off the top 80%.
