WMO first time advice.

^ lol... I guess people like paying full price for fuel... that or they see it takes work to save money and say screw it.

 

[FarmerFrank]

I know guys at work say screw that when I tell them what all I have to do. Oh well, more money in my pocket.

Do you think if we started our own forum called "black oilburners" we'd get in trouble?? Hahahaha

If I only knew how many clothes I was going to ruin foolin with this stuff I might have walked away. I have ruined more pants and shirts from little accidents that I literally only have a couple good pants to wear. I have a couple tyvec suits that I wear most of the time now.

I have a feeling the NAACP would look down on it... no matter what it means, just because how it sounds. Lol

As far as clothes go... I've got church clothes and work clothes... that amounts to a shirt or two that arnt stained along with a pair of jeans... everything else is all but shot. Lol

sorry for not checking back for a while but i think it could be possible in a 300d using 2 of the small gear oil drums laying sideways in the trunk because its huge and i have unlimited supplys of wmo and barrels

The thing to be careful with is fuel tanks tend to be dot certified though maybe im wrong. Just something i remember reading for my area with fuel transfer tanks so maybe its different in your area. You can get smaller truck aluminum tanks from a salvage yard for very cheap. its the route i went for fuel storage tanks. One 115 gallon tank cost me 80 dollars a small dent on another made it cost 65, avoid volvo tanks those are priced high. They can also be down to 30 gallons both steel or aluminum. That way if you do get pulled over or in an accident atleast you had a dot cert fuel tank.

i saw the utah bio diesel site and it seems as though a centrifuge has to be up right... correct me if im wrong

Cannot be at an angle more than what would prevent rapid draining of spent oil. The oil sprays outward from the rotor, and the rotor is oil driven. spent oil hits the side and gravity feeds out the bottom. Anyangle that would prevent the fuge from daring will not work as the rotor will be in an oil bath that won't allow it to spin fast enough. If you had a way to drain the cavity, and angle would work.

 

[Josh Carmack]

A belt/shaft driven fuge could run on it's side, but you would have to devise a way to cleanly catch the oil, and upon shutdown it would make a huge mess of dirty and clean oil.

what about this guys...?

and if not, have any of you tried this style pumps?

this one mainly for transferring straight WMO from my pick up point to my vessel...

I think you will be sorely disappointed in the overall performance of the system, specifically how often you blind filters. Secondly, it has no water block filter installed, and unless you want to change vehicle filters in parking lots and the sides of highways you would need to install one. Ask me about how successful the simple filter and go method is without a water block. Even with a water block, I still heat well beyond boiling to ensure I don't have water.

While a fuge is much more expensive, it is thousands of times more efficient, and will pay you back fairly quick compared to filter and go method. In my system, filters still have a function, they serve as insurance in the finishing stage before I increased my fuge time, and added a second fuge I was blinding ten mic filters fast enough to really not see any real savings.

The second link appears to be either a simple gear pump, or a gerotor, either of which will move oil pretty good. If it is a vane pump, it will also move it well, if it is a centripetal pump it will be extremely poor at moving oil. A lot of bilge/sump and marine pumps will be centripetal.

water block, is this to "dry" the water out of the oil? he mentions some kind of "de-watering" device in the system... can you explain the fuge to me?
