WMO and what filter grades to use? - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite

goldneagle · 05-05-2011, 14:49

I am working on a WMO filtering system. It will incorporate a Military Fuel Water separator rated at 50 GPM. I bought it new a few years ago but never got to using it. I plan on running the WMO through some bag filters first and them pump it through the Water separator. There will be a 11 micron final stage filter after the water separator.

My question is: What is the rating of the secondary fuel filters on the M35? Is 11 microns fine enough for the final particle size to use in my multifuel?

I will have pictures of the setup once i get the part together.

PS...

Does anyone know what the micron rating is on the 4 filters inside the Military Fuel Water Separator rated 50 GPM?

I use various filter bags from Dudadiesel in Alabama. They are resasonably priced, ship fast, have a huge selection and a nice web site. I usually filter to either 5 micron or 1 micron depending on what filtlers I have. 5 micon should be good. If you only filter to 11 youmay clog your primary fuel filter on the truck a little quicker.

I use 100, 20, & 1 micron when I have time. If in a hurry I might use just the 1 micron & replace it after 100 gallons. That's less than a dollar a gallon.
If I use all three filters, average cost per gallon is about 20 cents.

I'd like to see pics of your set up. Thanks Jim

WOW this thread came to a screeching halt fast! I thought more members would chime in. I know there are plenty of members that filter their own oil. Where are you?

I am new to the WMO scene. I am currently looking for oil , barrels, and filters to start my set up. I have a 525 gallon ag tank, and a 250 gallon oil tank that I can collect in of fill. I used to see barrels all over the place, but now that I'm looking I cant seem to find any. I have about 100 gallons of WVO that I was going to make bio diesel with I got a HWH and then things came to a halt. I am looking for all the info I can so I can start. Thanks Jim

Actually I am also looking for containers for the oil. I got 3 drums from my friend Don last week. I am looking for a 275 gallon TOTE (Large plastic container on a pallet reinforced with a metal cage) to use as the collection container. I will install it in my M105 trailer and tow it with my Deuce to collect oil from local shops.

If anyone has access to a cheap Totes let me know. i am in Louisiana so I prefer as close as possible.

I found this tote in Madison, GA. Anyone near there that can get it closer to Louisiana?

Search craiglsit for "275 gallon". They appear up here for around 50 bucks all the time.
