Yup! It is an additive going into my business write off (truck) that will also be written off because I average my mileage instead of itemizing receipts!
Go figer that one out!

Any more news on this?

Getting it put together... I have been delayed by having to actually work for money. Wife should be off my back by next week and I can start on it again... Probably Mon. or Tue. And it has been so dam hot here in Tx lately. I have been taking off after lunch and going to the lake to stay cool.

Still watching and listening

 

Nice work if you can get it....

 

I am making good progress.... Just wish my welder could keep up with me... I should have this thing fired up by the weekend.
Has anyone else gotten the plans?

OilGuy

 

Better hurry! Every little bit will help!

Very intresting with diesel getting real close to $3 a gal (well I haven't check the price in a hour so it might be $3.50 by now). When I was a kid the old farmers mixed 1 quart of oil to a tank of Kerosene. They swore by it. I guess anything is possible.

 

Fast service, Detailed plans I look forward to building the still-this a still! Here is some feedback from Ebay on the subject!

 

Oilguy,

Don't forget to build a quality control lab next to your furnace and distillation towers to test your final product.
For some info on the tests to run try this webpage.

Also you might want some fire fighting gear like 1 1/2" firehoses and Navy all-purpose nozzles.

I worked at a oil refinery for 10 years during the 80's and fought a few fires during that time. Most small, but one really BIG one.

Food for thought.

 

Yeah I am working on a lot of safety features and I am getting a lot of feedback for development from a welder that used to work at the fire training school in College Station. I have the main section just about finished and working on making sure there are no weak points in the build. I hoped to have this thing running by now but I guess I am just to picky.... got to be perfect!
The Developer has been reallly helpfull and giving me lots of pictures and detailed information about some of the components and where to get them. It is making me sick to buy at the pump now and send off my waste oil with the recycler because the project is not finished.
Have a good long weekend!

I looked to buy these plans after considering and doing a little WVO research but it looks like he is now charging $300.00+ for the plans? Am I looking at the wrong ebay ad?

 

We tryed that method at my job where we mixed old oils into the diesel units
and it worked great until the government (EPA) said to stop so we unhooked everthing. So HMMM makes you wonder why they made us stop?

I just looked it up on ebay and he has 43 available right now for $99.95 US >> which is about $30 higher than I paid but still well worth it if you plan to build it... Not worth it if you just want to know how it works so you say that you know. Here is the link to what I found:

that's what I do for over a year now! cheap, clean and it smells like french fries...performance is equal. no mods required, allthough I mix it with 20% diesel.
