Which centrifuge should I buy?

I fail to see the point of a centrifuge

Filter to 5 microns, add RUL, let sit for two days. Drain off the junk at the bottom, then fill'er up!

Here's what a fuge does that no filter does Or you can filter for days and go broke clogging up filters. Btw, this oil has already seen a 5 micron filter on it before it got to this stage.

Blind driver. Those photos above potentially represent what your fuel system looks like inside when you run your WMO cocktail.

I think that explains why you need a centrifuge.

Here's the same oil 1 hour later or 55 gallons later of filtering. This is pass #2. I still got 4-5 oz of contaminants out of this pass. Pass 1 & 2 combined would clog any filter setup I've seen, which at best case scenario adds another $1 per gallon to a 55 gallon batch of fuel. This WMO still has at least 4 passes left until I'd run it in my vehicles.

Like biofarmer said, filter filter filter!

Sweet! What are you using for a Pump?

I ordered a 1hp motor from surplus center and a pulley to run a power atering pump at 5000 rpm, the motor is a bit oversized but $80 pre. Wired with an on off switch, I'm sure it will be usefull elsewhere too!

I'm using a pump designed for a remote reservoir mostly because I have s couple dozen, and I figure if I need more volume I can run 2 pumps in parallel.

Here's what sold me, 2 trade size 4 filter bag housings $800 bags were $12 or so each, dial bags allowed me to filter 25.10.5.1 microns, 4 stages, while reading grease cars website I learned I could expect to change my fuel filter every 3000-4000 miles, what a messy pain in the back side, all for inferior filtration! The 150 gph CF will allow me to make 6 passes in 2 hours then transfer to a separate drum for storage.
