I see a lot of people saying that they filter their waste motor oil and run it in the tank, but what do you use to filter it?

What raito do you run?

TIA!

Wishing to know as well.
Can we get a parts list too?

I know you filter it outside of the truck, then pour it in the tank, then goes through more filtering, then the fuel filter, then the pump. Right?

 

Yeah. I'm sure that I could set up a 10 micron or so... but I don't think that I need that much. Just take the chunks out from the dirty pan that I drain the oil in...

 

You can buy 1 micron bag filters off of ebay. That's what I would use.

2 gallons is safe. I wouldn't go over 4-5 gallons though.

Thanks, Dude!

 

I have run as much as 7 gallons of WMO in my 20 gallon tank without problems. Others have run up to 100%. I am happy at 33%, but may try 50% soon. I'll keep going if it isn't a problem.

 

Filter with a centrifuge and stack my fuel [ as cost & availability changes , biodiesel - some WMO or hydrolic ect for BTUs , #2 , additives ] .
Then a lot depends on what fuel / motor you have , as the manufactures evolve the systems , they lend themselves to fewer alternative fuel sources .
So this would be a good point to boycott , only buy older used [ P-pumped 12v or 24v engines ] .

 

I bought a 2 micron spin on filter and a hand pump. I ran the waste oil at 50% in my GMC. I have not dared to run it in the Dodge yet(VP44's cost to much).

 

excellent info, Mikey! that is what i am currently using for filtration, works great and very cost effective too!

I've not yet tried any higher % than 2½ gallons per tank yet in my Common Rail. In the near future...I probably will, although i worry about excessive ash & carbon formation in the engine/exhaust as a result.

 

I've run a 50/50 mix for a while without any problems, that includes towing. I do have a 2 micron filter added to my truck.

 

And where did you get your setup? What does the 2 mic filter spin onto?

 

DD,
Have any pics of your setup? I'm thinking of doing the same.

IM filtering with 5 micron bags, and a 50-50% mix,97 GMC 6.5T, 5000 miles no probs, sure saves a lot of money per yr. gonna start to go to 75% WVO and blend with kero, and 6oz. diesel kleen, 3oz.acetone to 10gallons, much less money, I guess its always about the money!! thx Ron

 

next on the 97 GMC will be a water injection spray to steam clean the chambers, once a week so no carbon-coke buildup. turn on the spray for 1 min. at hiway speed when engine is up to temp should do the trick!! Thx Ron

 

no, but I suppose i could take some! You (and others) may find this hard to believe.... but i've never posted a picture on this or any other forum. Always wanted to learn, never took the time to do so. Is it difficult? Do I have to open an acct on some hosting site or something?
