I purchased a centrifuge from Joe at P A Biodiesel today. I will post some pics when it comes as well as my set up when I get it together. One test I plan to post pics of is before and after pics of WMO to compare clarity. Any other test you would like to see done. I have a great source for motor oil so I plan on filling a 600 gallon tank with clean oil. Anyone else have one of these? The reviews I have read state that P A Biodiesel is top notch. So far I must agree the ordering was simple and the service quick and to the point. More to come......
I talked to Joe also, seems like a stand up kind of guy. Prices are very good also. I was planning on buying one from them if I ever get some extra cash.
Try to get some small glass bottles for oil samples, you can hold them up to a bright light to see any chunks or cloudy stuff in your samples.
did you get a complete setup or just a centrifuge?

i got the centrifuge, motor, pump and a barrell heater. i have a good barrell ready and will get the set up going this weekend. i have some baby food jars to use for my samples and will try to get some of the final product tested as well, if it doesnt cost a arm and a leg to do so. i want to test for viscosity, clairty and that is all i can think of for now. dont think it would be cost effective to test for btu's per hour to compair to D2 but i guess if i knew someone that did that kind of stuff but i dont. i have been looking foreward to doing this for a while. i just cant see any down side to haveing a very clean product that will increase my ability to have a personally renewable fuel supplement. i just sayin'
So is this a small dieselcraft centrifuge, like the type some otr semi trucks use onboard to clean there engine oil? Definitely looking forward to your review.

I ordered my setup from Joe last Friday and received it Monday afternoon. I haven't been able to get it setup yet due to work schedule, but I have several hunder gallons of WMO, Turbine oil and Transformer oil just waiting to be processed. Joe's a good guy to deal with, and is very informative on what he sells and the whole process.
I'm going to get some pictures of the setup, once finished along with glass bottle samples of the before and after product. If things go well, I may end up bringing some cleaned barrels of oil down to Aberdeen, but one step at a time. First thing is to get it setup.
