i guess i'll find out soon also, i just purchased the plans. have to go get ink first

already costing me money

if you read my post above, he said for every 100L in you get 50-75L out depending on temp ect. so i would assume it would be the same for gallons. that tells me i need a 55gal. drum for a tank of fuel.....i can see pumps and tanks and drums being in my future.......

 

Already got em... I have 450 gallons ready to go and more being added daily. I have about 800 gal holding tank for fresh diesel and I am mapping out my plans as we speak (type)
Got to get back to work....

upersleder, Let us know how this works for you.

Oilguy, did you get an answer on testing the quality of diesel fuel?

 

More updates please??!!

 

looks like its up to 86.00

 

Got a question: If you pick up oil from oil change stations, do you have to have a permit or anything? It seems that waste engine oil would be tracked by the government or something, especially from a oil change shop. I want to buy today, but this is one holdup that has me concerned. Can you give any info on this oilguy?

I'll believe it when I see it

 

Here's another one to try guys! Who's going first? http://www.dieselsecret.com/

and another http://www.ccthita-swan.org/pdf/WOTEC_print.pdf

 

I get a manifest from the comp that picks it up but that is mainly because the driver get paid for the amount that he pick up... In Texas Waste oil is not a hazardous material and no one needs to know anything if you are hauling 55 gal or less.
I have never been checked for anything except waste water stuff by the city. He was more worried about my mop water than the thousands of gallons of oil I have in the warehouse.

Wow! I emailed the designer a page of questions this morning about spec's and got back very detailed answers and he is sending pictures of working models.
I have the main part of the processor just about together... probably another 8-10 hrs and it should be ready to fire up.
I think this thing is for real!

Mike D I like the information that you posted... I built a version of that WOTEC machine. That is how I was blending waste oil and diesel when I was running it in my PSD. Not sure about the other deal though.

When you get this thing running I would like to come up and see it.

Count me in as one who wants to know if this works or not. I am very interested!!!

 

How do you handle the issue of road tax with this stuff? I can't believe that the state and feds won't have their hand out for taxes on what you produce.

 

Might be like biodiesel.
It can be considered a "Diesel Fuel Additive".

Yeah, a 95% home brew to 5% store bought mix is still "adding" isn't it.
