Yeah, my veggie system has been working great. But I had it setup to use the common stock fuel filter.
That actually worked pretty well, I just decided I would change the filter every 2500 miles vs the extra complexity of being able to switch around a push through filter.

Well you know what happened when I clogged it at 2000 miles the other day with what I believe was a substandard processed /filtered batch.

So I decided to bite the bullet and add a dedicated veggie filter. For on road get me home redundancy more than anything. Going as big as I can fit, and the dedicated #2 filter is the same size for part stock simplicity.

Be a good candidate for a heat tape. Lots of surface area there. Are you filtering your oil or centrifuging it? I've been meaning to read up on how the oil fuges work. I've used lots of centrifuges but never continuous flow.

My "processor" is primarily a settling system, and a 2 micron final filter when delivered to the truck tank.

On the bad batch, let's just say I rushed things a bit .

Normally, the oil sits in the cubes undisturbed for 2 weeks. Then I set a cube into the yellow funnel on the left blue barrel, and cut a hole in it maybe a half inch from the bottom. This keeps the "ewwww" in the cube, and the better oil drains into the barrel.

From there I pump the bucket on the far left full, and it slowly trickles and flows clean settled oil off the top of each bucket into one of my two finishing barrels.

Then it gets pumped into the truck going through a 2 micron filter on the way.

I probably missed it. What are you running for a fuel pump?
The stock mechanical?

Yeah, it's just the stocker mechanical.

Got these bad boys mounted this weekend. Now I have a huge dedicated diesel filter, and a huge dedicated waste oil filter. I drew out all the components so I can come to this post a year from now and figure out what I did.

Really happy with how everything came out.

Nice design, Rob. Thanks for sharing.

 

[laserjock]

Nice.

Looks good, how fast is the purge time?

Not horrible, about a minute and a half for each one. They hold a little less than 1/2 a gallon each. Beats pumping the prime lever

a baffle in the muffler rattled loose... Grrrrr
I'm tempted to straight pipe it, but I'm worried I wont like the extra noise for more than a week.

Just turn the radio up. [emoji6]

I suppose I could straight pipe it and just see how it is. But nothing irritates me more than doing a job twice. It was a brand new muffler for a first gen dodge cummins, I have maybe 12k on it. Now it sounds like a coffee can full of tin snipped sheet metal. So if I straight pipe it, and dont like it, then I'll be looking at doing this job 3 times!

 

[laserjock]

Yeah. What size? Can always pick up a flow master or something.

 

[F350camper]

I'm 3 inch from the turbo back. and I hear ya, I have a flow master in my shopping cart right now. Cant decide.
what are your plans for big red?
