BioDiesel Veteran Member. I have some in sealed containers of WVO in the dark for years. Afriend stored thousands of gallons of wvo for years, a bd factory took it.

The b turned to syrup! Would it bring the FFA's down just as effective as it would heated??? Just take a bit longer?? Refbacks are On. Forum Rules. All times are GMT The time now is PM. Add Thread to del.

Pre-filtered oil is usually collected into reused cubies, and sometimes 5-gallon plastic buckets. WVO has to be filtered first to remove any bits of food. We did add a fuel filter in the truck for the WVO, but its job is only to protect the engine in case something makes it past our pre-filtering. If we relied on that filter to clean the raw WVO it would clog up in a couple minutes.
Initially we filtered the WVO we collected in the restaurant parking lot. We now bring the unfiltered grease back to the RV and filter it there. How do we filter WVO? The contaminants in used oil vary in size from source to source, and if you find high quality oil, there will be much less to filter out. We use tall sock filters that varies from micron down to 1-micron to filter the grease.
The sock filters sit in one another and are placed in a 5-gallon bucket with the bottom cut out. Underneath that bucket is another 5-gallon bucket that catches the filtered oil. We pour the filtered oil into the WVO tank that sits in the bed of the truck.
Yes and no. No because we use a variety of materials to filter the WVO and maintain the truck. Sometimes we eat at the restaurants we get grease from as a thank you. So diesel is used to start our truck and warm it up so the coolant which is hot after it goes through the engine can be used to heat the WVO.
Living on the road with a limited amount of space makes it hard for us to carry chemicals and the necessary equipment our filtering setup is pretty compact. Also, we would still have to filter the WVO first before making it into biodiesel.
Also, the biodiesel-making process takes longer than simply filtering WVO, which makes it harder to do while mobile. A diesel engine is created to burn fuel that has a low flash point the temperature at which it can be ignited in air unlike a gasoline engine. Butylated hydroxyanisol 3. Butylated hydroxytoluene 4. Propyl gallate These products are obtainable from the food additive suppliers, since they are used in human food they are safe,they are used in very small amounts.
Hello Marcus, Thanks for your advise. I only use Chemtech Diesel Power additive in the car tank but never knew that I can add it to stored fuel.
I wonder how many people are doing this. Hi Chris, I collect the oil while it is very hot usually from the fryer and I guess the idea of a vacuum cleaner is easy to do.
Very good thread everyone thanks for your post Fitian. Fitian I have no personall experience with this product, Diesel Power, Sorry. Originally Posted by Vegiecars.
