    Any suggested improvements on my WMO filter setup before I use it?

    This seems like sound advice, reset2. I mostly make my DIY diesel fuel out of WVO, but much the same way you make your WMO diesel fuel, except I find I only need to settle WVO-gasoline bends for about 1-2 weeks. I am still making fuel in the 5 gallon buckets it comes in after 7 years. I have...

    Those using magnets for collecting metal particles in the WMO stream, please let us know if you ever find any iron particles on your magnets.

    Any suggested improvements on my WMO filter setup before I use it?

    No, the sediments are meant to be removed, but I have found there are heavier fractions above the coke, ash and tar that can be extracted and burned during warmer months. No, the precipitates are not the result of a chemical reaction, but are simply suspended particles that fall out of...

    Any suggested improvements on my WMO filter setup before I use it?

    Thanks, gimpyrobb, I have been flamed and banned from almost every alternative fuels forum for just advocating blending gasoline with WVO, and supporting the WMO blending community. So, I appreciate being allowed to express myself here, but I understand that you have had observations that give...

    Any suggested improvements on my WMO filter setup before I use it?

    I have posted about 100 videos on YouTube that clearly show that gasoline and waste oils do not separate; however, there are frequently precipitates formed when blending light solvents with heavier waste oils. Also, the oil must be in liquid phase, not gelled, or it will not go into solution...

    Any suggested improvements on my WMO filter setup before I use it?

    Well, you need to look at what happens when fluids go into solution, they do not separate except under freeze distillation, or boiling them in in normal distillation practices. This observation violates the observations of chemists for centuries. I am inclined to rely upon my training in...

    Any suggested improvements on my WMO filter setup before I use it?

    Just dumping various oils into a barrel is fine, because they will go into solution with each other, and will not separate except through distillation. But, the more viscous the blend becomes in your sludge barrel, the less likely contaminants will precipitate out. So, one month before you use...

    Any suggested improvements on my WMO filter setup before I use it?

    It looks like nice setup, and since you are processing just your own oils, then you surely have control over the reduction of water, and other contaminants in your waste oils. However, the biggest problem with burning WMO is it tends to be burned from over use, which polymerizes the oil. If...
