DieselCraft , difference , eng-oil vs. vegi-oil ?

I am looking at getting a centrifuge , and looking at a few , DieselCraft has separate listings for the engine oil & vegi-oil , so I was wandering if anyone knew if , or what the differences are ?
Thanks John

the centrifuges have model numbers. The OC-20 and OC-50 are the ones most commonly used. Same model number = some centrifuge.
The ones used for engine oil are for use on a vehicle so a pump is not needed.

To filter with a self contained system you also need a pump for either WMO or WVO.

No real new info there , they all need a pump , either the pump from eng on truck or a pump for stand alone .
I am looking for the difference between the ones on there site , list for engines and then the ones listed for bio/vegi oil ?

what part of "same model numer = same centrifuge" do you not understand?

They use to be blue(engine oil pics are older) colored now they are all black, is that what is confusing you?

You did not get the gist of the question either time , so why are you getting an attitude ?
I am just posting a question , you put into it unrelated stuff , " same model = same centrifuge " , I only mentioned a brand , not a model number , you added that , starting your own argument .
If you go to there web site , they have different categories , engine oil & bio diesel .
I am trying to see / find if there is a difference ?
You are reading into this , or not reading , and getting worked up with your own ideas , take a breath .

Sorry to confuse you with model numbers.

There is no difference.

I went back to DieselCrafts site , then to FAQ , they do state that there units listed for bio / WVO , have a nickel plating to counter act the corrosive of bio / WVO , so that implies there is a difference .
I would be good if people make claims , that they show what they base them on , other wise , its a baseless claim , of no use .
You might want to go to Diesel Craft's site and gather some info also .
