WMO STEP BY STEP

[bagpiperjosh]

Maybe this has been covered before, but i couldn't find it if it was...

does anyone know of a step by step process on how to build then filter WMO...with parts lists and etc? there is alot of vauge info out there, and i want to do this as correct as possible.

thanks

There's a Guy on you tube that has it step by step i think the link is found somewhere in here....

I'm sure someone on here can provide this information as well as maybe the youtube link. We have some who are doing it well, and having learned how to do it well, are willing to share what works (and maybe what didn't) along the way!

I'd like to do it, but I drive my truck very little and cant justify the huge expense of a centrifuge, etc.

I wouldn't be getting a cetrifuge. correct me if i'm wrong here, but that is used to get the water out of the oil? I know where my oil is coming from and i know there wont be any coolant or etc. being dumped in it. so i was just planning to filter it down to 1 micron or so for now.

to see more threads, go to the bottom of the page where the "Display options" is at. In the section "from the" hit the arrow and choose "beginning" and you'll see more than what has been going on this last month.

there is alot of information in this section to read up on but i do not remember seeing any step by step instructions. the people running WMO are a much smaller group than the WVO or biodiesel crowd so there seems to be alot more trial by error for indeviduals.

some of the basics are fiter filter filter! the more the better
keep the water out
start with light mixes and work from there, adding a gallon or two to a tank will not affect anything.

this is all assuming you have an older IDI, if you are running a newer diesel forget WMO.

A centrifuge does that and more. What it does is accelerate the gravity, meaning that heavier than oil material is separated out. That includes water, dirt, gunk and anything that is heavier than oil.

I use a centrifuge in my process 2 times per batch. It is a lot cheaper to clean a 'fuge out than it is to buy a lot of filters.

x2 on what subway said.
It also depends what you already have for filters, barrels, pumps etc.
I started out with a barrel pump and a remote filter base from a automotive remote filter mount system. (still use alot of the "start up" stuff)
I also assume you change your own oil, so you have some wmo to start.
If money is short, I would start small and make small batches. If money is not a issue, when then sky is the limit.
I still like watching videos on anything related to wmo/fuel making, gives a person good ideas about adapting to your own process.
Drinking water filtering stuff/systems seem to work good for this process, sometimes they can be easier to find then maybe a "farm store".
Another area I like about Oilburners/wmo filtering, everybody that runs wmo is doing the same basic stuff just maybe a little different, but
getting the same product at the end.
BTW welcome aboard, this has to be the best place.
