Ok guys.. I have recently been getting a lot deeper into the whole WMO thing for my deuce. I have the capacity but not really the means. I've been searching here and on the net for some pumps and systems. I just found a setup from Redline Pumps. The price doesn't look too bad. I was wondering if anyone has purchased anything from them. I'm thinking of purchasing a setup and of course adding a water separator and possibly some extra filtration. I'm also looking at a Johnson Pump which are Sweden made. Has anyone bought any of those pumps? Once I get something I'll post the meaty details about it.

Out of curiosity, have you considered a centrifuge? I got one from Wolverine Technologies and love it. Good luck in your search!

Not not really.... How much did your centrifuge set up cost?

To be honest, the "fudge" is the best way to clean your fuel. OTOH, I am cheap and using a pneumatic barrel pump has worked well for years. Let me see if I can find pics/info on my setup. I know I posted it here somewhere.

Like chris, im cheep too. here is a pump i made using an old power steering pump and a motor from a furnace. i modified the pressure relief valve so it would flow thicker fluids with less resistance on the motor. I have pumped literaly THOUSANDS of gallons of WMO with it and it is still working great. i have about $40 into it but of corse that will vary depending how resorcefull you are

I think I paid $700 or $800. It was on sale when I got it and I saved $50 or a hundred bucks as I recall. It wasn't cheap, but I've had a lot of fun with it. Check out his site. Wolverine Technologies LLC Wolverine Centrifuge for WVO, WMO, Biodiesel

I'm thinking about doing the same thing ... with an old lawn mower engine. I got an old horizontal shaft 5 horse that runs pretty good.

I think a rig like that would be helpful/useful when pumping wmo in remote locations.

Well I took the plunge and just bought a setup. I bought it from Redline Equipment. It was $434 including shipping. I was just tired of trying to find what I wanted for a pump and motor. I ran across them on a search. I purchased the 12V setup so it can be portable. Now I have an idea of what kind of filtering and how I will set that up. Once I get it all together I will post pictures and details.
