    centerfuge vs. multiple inline filters

    which oil filters should I buy??? filter installation

    i use magnets in my set up, but i use drip socks so i just throw them in. I have seen someones set up were they put magnets on the waste oil barrel in a way so that as you pour in the waste oil it runs over them. I also use rare earth magnets as they are stronger

    i just had my tank hot tanked at a radiator shop, came out clean as a whistle, you could also do the old, slow way of putting some ball bearing in it and some cleaner and shaking it around, thats what my grandpa would do. i would check if any shop around you can tank it

    leaks should always cause a little concern so great job getting on it, i would pull the pto and put the cover plate back on with a new gasket, its probably leaking from the gasket
