    Diesel craft centrifuges in mobile setup

    I was worried about the lye being aggressive with the aluminum. What would be a good neutralizer? Vinegar? Wmo is way easy to clean up.

    Diesel craft centrifuges in mobile setup

    Yep I think that is essentially how it cleaned. I was using hand cleaner borax powder. I started with simple green and hot water soak for 15min. It was working good but wasn't breaking up the really hard stuff. Then I thought about trying the borax. Definitely wear gloves. Wvo get really sticky...

    Diesel craft centrifuges in mobile setup

    So cleaned up another centrifuge and borax and hot water worked pretty good. But the wvo wasn't as bad as the other one.

    Actually retrieving WMO

    I have started running my single pass as a continuous. For me it has been working great. Getting more out then in thought it would. Some oil also holds a lot of stuff so even running it constantly for days, but it does settle out. I have even thought of doing several single pass fuge in series...

    https://www.wvodesigns.com/rpc-poboy-kit.html.html a guy on a faceb00k waste oil group posted this. Pretty cheap way to go. Wvo designs also makes this https://www.wvodesigns.com/raw-power-centrifuge-booster.html.html They even have link for drawings of the bowl and stuff for dimensions in a...

    I think are the dimensions for my fuge bowl. Neat idea! Sounds like it will work great. Keep us posted! With a big drum you could have a bunch of oil capacity.

    Actually retrieving WMO

    Large torque converters are usually the choice for fuges since they are already balanced and generally the right shape. There are a bunch of people that are making diy fuges now. Brake drums would be balanced and heavier. It would be easy to close up. Interesting idea. How were you going to...

    Yah makes sense. That is what I have done with water. Just winding about oil. Guess it would prime easy if it is below the source. Groovy!

    5/8inch solids can go through your pump, most impressive!

    Actually retrieving WMO

    Agreed the price tag is high but the used market is quite reasonable. Get one cheap and fix it up. I found a couple around me for under 300. Called the manufacturer and the engineers say the diaphragm is a nitrile- buna-n material. That means it would handle most petroleum and lots of other...

    Oil or fuel filter?

    He has some good info and cool custom set up.

    https://www.multiquip.com/multiquip/MQD3H.htm Anyone thought about using one of these? With he proper diaphragm should work okay. Says it can do 90gpm. But if it's think even 45gpm and gas powered would be okay with me. Been kicking this idea around for a while.

    Actually retrieving WMO

    Mine is a Wilden m2 1" aluminum with buna internals. Buna is good enough for most petroleum products. The rep said to not let 100LL sit there on buna. So I flush it out with some oil after pumping that stuff. Another trick for servicing is to turn it up side down and run it for a while and that...

    ps300 fuel oil

    Yep already read that. It was pretty informative. Wondering how much solids are actually in it. I also looked at the sds sheet

    ps300 fuel oil

    A friend has some ps300 fuel oil he wants hauled off. It looks like it is bunker oil blended with diesel to make it less viscous so that it is pumpable without heating. Wondering if it would be worth passing through the centrifuge and burning in my oil furnace. Don't think I want to burn it in...

    Actually retrieving WMO

    Most shops have compressed air and I use a double diaphragm pump I scored off Craigslist moons ago. They are able to pass some particles and pump thick stuff. Colder months it freezes up but I just poor hot water on it if I am outside. But it never get tired. I carry both style of air...

    Oil or fuel filter?

    I don't really believe this, but I have been told that the stock filter rating is as good as you need to take it. Anything smaller would pass through without damage. Hedging bets is good so I try to go as clean as I can. Catapilar uses a lot of 2micron. Aviation uses 1micron&dewatered on the...

    Oil or fuel filter?

    Fuel filters will be better micron ratings. Granted some oil filters are the same micron rating but not water blocking/absorbing or seperator. After centrifuging I pass everything through a 1micron sock filter then use the stock truck filter. They make a 98% effiecent sock filters (i just use a...

    Barrel stove idea wmo/wood

    I just picked up a really nice used bock oil water heater. It was used in a hydronic forced air heater and domestic water heater. This will get me started on my project and I can just play around building stoves this winter. Just have to build a little shed to put it in. It should work really...

    Barrel stove idea wmo/wood

    Yep there is a variety of nozzles available. Agreed more room is better for the refractory. I think lining the inside of the barrel would be the easiest, but not as easy to remover to burn wood. Unless it's the brick and burn on top of it. Yep I have seen that carbon/coal like stuff build up...

    Barrel stove idea wmo/wood

    oh "wet blanket chamber repair kit" I have seen it on youtube furnace repair videos, but forgot about it. I think that would work perfect. Years ago I found the Garn wood boilers. One of there videos is for replacing the reaction camber. They look like awesome units. Maybe one day I can...
