WMO system almost there, keep getting air driving
With a system that you could "tune" the pressure to the exact PSI needed to run the motor... Why would you need a return line? Does the pressure need to adjust for the engine RPM? I am saying that when the truck is running on #2 it runs on the stock system and then when you hit the switch to...- Oilguy

WMO system almost there, keep getting air driving
I've been thinking about your system and the problems that you have had to overcome and I have come up with an idea I wanted to throw out there... First let me say that I have a system like what I am about to describe so I know it works but I was thinking of adapting it for fueling a truck...- Oilguy

Simple WVO collection pumping setup
Hey Jeeper... I know you've made up your mind... But I just got a condemned propane tank from a propane store. They have whatever size you need. I got a 215 Gallon because it fit perfectly in my trailer (sideways) and it only cost my $50. They condemn these things for a variety of reasons that...- Oilguy

Just talk to an oil retailer... They will have a few sources to call... Plus call a service manager at a auto dealership or a quick lube >> They can give you numbers in your area. OG- Oilguy

WMO Prices Dropped like Rock!
Yeah... That was the going rate for Oil Recyclers here in Texas... For years I had been getting $.10 a gallon for it and had to pay to get rid of the filters >> Then Oil shot up and They stopped having my pay for filter removal and then slowly started increasing the oil price.... Last...- Oilguy

WMO Prices Dropped like Rock!
Well... It couldn't last forever... :dunno WMO prices went from $.80 a gallon to $.25 a gallon over the past 2 months.... I can't say that I want Oil prices to go back up... but I sure liked those big checks to offset the cost of fresh oil! (which haven't dropped a bit!:backoff) OG- Oilguy

oil collecting
I just set up a 200 Gallon Propane cylinder today for sucking up used motor oil... It is very simple! I just welded feet on the top and flipped it upside down >> Welded a 1/2 fitting on the new top for air and vacuum.... Stubbed out a 3/4" fitting on the bottom for the hose. Then you just...- Oilguy

oil collecting
Using a 100 or 200 gallon propane tank... All you need is a small gas powered air compressor and hook the intake up to the top of the tank with a check valve and vent the compressor by opening the water bleed valve on the bottom.... It will pull it down to about 25 or 27 inches-vacuum in a...- Oilguy

My WMO Setup, Pics
Yeah... There are a lot of people in the forum but only about 20 or so that are actually building or have a working unit... On the heater are you talking about the back yard metal casting type heater? That thing is a monster >>> I love it! I am going to build one on a heat exchanger for my shop...- Oilguy

SCORE! 3 storage tanks!
One thing to keep in mind... Square want to become round when you start pressuring them up... The seems along the edge are going to blow out with much more than about 5-8 PSI >> You might get lucky for a while but when you have the interior pressure of the fluid in the tank and then add air...- Oilguy
