Waste oil problems

Theres more to WVO than just straining it.It can hold water in suspension, do a google search for "hot pan test". This will let you know if there is water in your WVO.

ironman--DONT mix the diesel and the wmo in the tank!!!!!!!!!!! mix outside, and youll be ok.....straight wmo, will pull thru the stock pump down to about 45 degrees--then it gets tooo thick to drive down the road----at speed

Done just that for years it mixes in the tank just fine.

Same here....

Me too....I put the WMO in first so the it will be mixed by the higher flow from the service station nozzle.

Well, I mix my fuel outside the tank simply because it flows through my filter more quickly. I fill a 33gal drum with 75/25 WMO/Diesel and let it sit for a week with a few big magnets in the bottom. I siphon out of the tank within 6" of the bottom into a 5gal bucket. I then pour it through a 1 micron sock filter and let it drain into a 5gal fuel can. I just hang the filter off of a hose bibb that I screw into the bucket lid bung, lay the bucket on it's side on a shelf in my garage and let it drain into a funnel and into the can. The whole set-up cost $20 and everything except the drum is new.
Drum; local grease pit: free

There's plenty of 2-10 micron (nominal) fuel filters out there, see page 4 of this paper: http://www.rocketcityrockcrawlers.com/memberstuff/al/PPF_2008-02-25.pdf

If anyone wants the full Excel file with all the filters listed, PM me your e-mail address; the one in the paper above only has those that have 1'-14 threads.

Thanks,
