a 2 micron absolute element is going to filter down finer then 10 micron... there is no argument there. If the filter is bigger or what have you with more media... it will just last longer... doesn't mean its doing a better job.
How much coin do you have in that cart?
A filter is never going to clean better then a centrifuge... period.

Well lets think this way, Let me collect 100 gallons with my cart, then you fuge the oil from my process.
If we did not live in different states this test could happen.
I am not to worried about contaminate smaller than 5 microns or smaller because it wont really leave a wear scar that will hurt my feelings.
Yes I would rather have cleaner fuel but I wont wait that long to process fuel when I need it right away.
I actually still use an up flow process system for real nasty waste oil I end up having to collect.
Fuging that stuff would not be worth your time because of the constant cleaning.
With todays nano fiber technology the Bypass filtration systems clean as good as any fuge and clean
more volume of oil between service than a fuge, only advantage of the fuge, "which is small" no replacement cost.
the only fuge I see worth buying is $1500 a fairly large one. still need a pump also.
I have just under $1500 with mine including 12 filters that are $50 retail each.
Love the fact I can collect oil with this and plumb into the inlet an additional filter
to keep the main filters from clogging.
There is pros and cons for both setups. Both keep us from being a complete and total SLAVE to the MAN so
I am glad I "feel" like I am breathing above the water.
