WMO Filtration

[Jake]

I found probably a gold mine for me as far as getting ahold of WMO and WTF. I can get as much as i need for free. Probably 5 to 10 gallons or more per day.

So what all am i gonna need to set up a good filtration system? I'd like some drawings too if ya got em.

Heres what i think ill need so far. A plastic drum for the unfiltered oil, some cheese cloth or something for a screen to prefilter it before it goes in the barrel, an electric or manual pump, and a 2 micron filter then tubing from the filter to run straight into the tank. What is the best way to set this up? Is this a good way to do it goin straight to the tank after filtration?

On a side note, i am aware of the opinion that this is a bad idea and it ruins injectors etc. Please keep these comments to yourself. I have yet to hear of anyone actually having problems from doing this, yet have heard many stories of guys doing this for 50k or more miles with no issues. I will be keeping track of how many gallons i have used and will definitely make a thread about it if i have issues.

Here is an idea that i have. Look like a good setup?

[Jake]

Noone? Where is the guys that run WVO?

[Dave]

You wont find anyone here that runs WMO through their engine Jake. Search cumminsforum you will find plenty of people that ruined pumps and injectors running WMO

[Jake]

Even filtering it down to like 1 or 2 microns? How could it be any worse than running WVO, there is a lot of junk in that that gets filtered out then runs fine.

I run WVO in my 97 using a set up like the one you drew and I have no issues. I just warm it up on diesel first, then switch to the WVO.

[Jake]

Im just gonna dump the oil straight into the tank. It'll be a mix of oil and diesel, probably 25% oil.

WVO doesnt have metal particles in it

I dont recommend WMO in anything other than an old IDI engine

[Jake]

Filtered down to 1 or 2 microns it shouldn't have metal particles in it anymore, right?

[porkmeister]

1 to 2 microns should be just fine. I know people who just dump it straight into their tank, mixing it with diesel @ 1:4 ratio. the 4 being diesel.
