Default WMO a different way to filter!

Ok I have a video here of how I filter my WMO.
It works pretty well and It is also mobile because it is air powered so you can run it off your deuce!!
Let me know what you think be gentle lol.

Increase Size Decrease Size Simple way to filter WMO

Might want to put pressure gauges on the filters so you know when they get plugged. Also, I have found it helps a lot to thin the wmo with gas or diesel, it will flow much faster.

It normally is pre-mixed but I just ran it 100% that time. good idea on the gauges for the filters!

Good job!

Not going to lie, If it's ok with you I might just have to copy your idea

How did you attach to the bottom of the propane tank, welded or did you drill a hole and thread it?

First i drilled and taped it, the tank was to thin to do a good job. I used a very old tank the new ones are thicker you may have better luck! Since mien was so thin I welded it and it worked fine after that. I am also thinking of putting a valve on the top pipe and then cutting another tank in half screwing it on and using it as a funnel.

I'd have to find the part numbers, but I was able to pick up the block and filters at Tractor supply. they have them online as well.

Ok thank you! We have a old cylinder out back the fire house that leaks propane bad, maybe I will have to borrow it.. Haha, and I thought those looked like tractor supply filters

All in all it looks like a very good system, can't wait to give it a shot myself, and I was sorta thinking the same thing about the improvised funnel idea, let us know how it turns out if you do that

Thats pretty slick.

Another concept to be adapted would be to buy an air tank from Harbor Freight or Walmart, or just about anywhere. Many of them have multiple fittings, some in both sides. These found easily online for cheap and could be put to use with your idea.

I like the option of not having to push a lot of air thru keeping the compressor at ease.

thanks for the demo!!!
