Well I've got plenty of oil and I definitely need to get started filtering it if I'm going to run it.
Picked up a PA Biodiesel centrifuge on the marketplace from @homelessduck wo wasn't using it anymore. Pleasure to deal with him if anyone wonders.
I picked up some scrap from work, oddly enough it would have been a pump base if it had come in the right length.
I had a 3/4hp electric motor in the garage. I ordered up a power steering pump for a 89 Honda Accord and didn't want to buy a Honda pressure line, so I ran a 1/4NPT tap into the outlet.
Looks like it might work once I goober the threads with sealer.
Got the scrap channel all marked up and went to town with the drill and welder.
That motor is bolted in with 4 grade 5 1/4" bolts which I welded to the base. The ear there is a drop from the bumper I'm building for my Jeep, and that angle iron is part of an old bed frame. This whole project is a recycling story lol!
Once I got everything fit up, I realized the pump couldn't mount the way I wanted it to... Figured out I could use a little more angle iron and make an extension of sorts. Found a weld stud in a junk box, perfect!
Fit everything up and hopefully in a couple days I'll see what breaks I really don't have time for breakdown repair but... you know something will! Oh.... the belt is a spare vacuum pump belt from my truck! Went hydroboost so I didn't need it and now I don't have to guess what size it is!
That's all I've got finished so far. More in the next couple of days!
