Finally had the camera handy when I was fillin' the ol truck up with some WMO. Mine is a somewhat portable setup I built. I say somewhat because it's pretty freakin' heavy once full of oil. I have a 55 gallon drum in my garage that I store the WMO in. I pump it out of the barrel and into a 5 gallon container, then pump it from the 5 gallon container into the front tank of the truck, then run down to the fuel station and match the amount of oil I just put in. So I am filtering it twice.
The oil first goes through a strainer, then the pump, then passes an old pressure gauge (so I can tell when the filters are clogging up), then a 10 micron filter (standard NAPA 4006 fuel filter), and then through a 5 micron house filter from the local hardware store. I mounted the whole works to a plywood box complete with on/off switch, built in extension cord, and even built a fancy racin' handle for it.
