Ah, you mean a transfer tank like these..???

If it is, I suppose look for a fitting of some sort, plumb it in so there is no bend in pipe or hose...

Yep just like that just the upper portion prob about a ft high. Now I have the feed line running up to the top of the waste oil barrel then a hose going into the barrel... or should I drill a hole in the plastic barrel? And if I do how would I seal it.?

Look into a bulkhead fitting... they work great. Tractor supply sells them

So I have everything plumbed and hooked up. Put 10 gal of used oil filtered threw a 100 micron filter into the barrel. Added my me to to it and ran the system in bypass to mix.. now the odd ? Is do you really need to heat the oil to run it threw the centrifuge? I gave it a try and got the vibration like the instructions said and was slowly giving more pressure and the centrifuge just stopped running.. but before I can try it again have to get a new pressure gauge the 0-100 stopped working

 

[AcIdBuRn02ZTS]

I don't heat my oil and I don't have any problems... but I do thin my oil first. I run mine at 85-90psi for 20hrs

 

[blaz4wd]

When I had the centrifuge running it had the vibration first then it got quite and seemed like it stopped spinning. Is this what I'm looking for? I never heard any high pitched whine.

 

[AcIdBuRn02ZTS]

It will hum... you'll definitely hear it... its not silent at all but it wont be loud or anything.

 

[blaz4wd]

Sorry for so many ?'s but when there's oil going to the centrifuge is there any dirty oil being ran threw it that isn't filtered entering my transfer tank?

 

[AcIdBuRn02ZTS]

Don't you have a bypass before the fuge?

 

[blaz4wd]

Ya I will get u a pic of the setup. It goes from ps pressure side into a 3/8 t one side goes to a ball valve other side into a t fitting with pressure gauge then into centrifuge.

 

[AcIdBuRn02ZTS]

I guess I misread your question... all the oil that enters the 'fuge is filtered. The oil that bypasses the 'fuge obviously isn't.. lol

 

[blaz4wd]

I just didn't know if when it's not running at full rpm if that even gets clean

 

[AcIdBuRn02ZTS]

Its working yes... but it needs to be running around 80 psi to work properly. Are you sure yours is stopping?

 

[blaz4wd]

Don't know you can hear/feel it spooling up then vibration stops and can't really tell
