wvo filtration

[fandrich77]

I currently filter my wvo to 1 micron thru a sock style filter and was wondering if I'm asking for trouble or if this is sufficient?

we reccomend a centrifuge. i used to filter via sico, then saw the crud that the fuge gets out, that was going into my injectors!

Although some may claim it is sufficient, there is a much more thorough and safer method. Read around the section here about centrifuges. These systems are proven and IMHO way faster and easier too.

that and bag fitlering was unreasonably messy. im excited to get a mess free system running.

I agree the bag filters can get very messy. I'll do some more reading on the centrifuges, can a person build there own or am I better of just investing the money in a pre made one?

Heat and settle works really well, too.

Right, that's why you didn't say it. Many others, including me, have had great experience with it. CF is great. It's not the only option.

Well I filter 3 times down to 2 micron but I know there is still stuff getting through because they are rated on efficiency. I just ordered my CF yesterday so I plan on filtering with my setup and then CF'ing that just to see what is getting through it
