    Stretch's used oil centrifuge

    G, From the pump set up, I take it you fill the barrel by hand, and use the air pump to pump from the barrel through the filters and then to the deuce? Can theh pump be used to fill the barrel too? Tommy

    Stretch's used oil centrifuge

    gimp, I thought the idea was to keep the contamination out of the oil. Using your old socks defetes the purpose doesn't it? :D Thanks for the pics gimp, and nf for the datasheets. Good stuff, it's good to see these real close. Only 7 CFM.... from the deuce, not totally surprised. I would...

    Stretch's used oil centrifuge

    Gimp, What are the specs on the pump and recommended PSI to run it at? I was toying with the idea of running the pump off the M35, for the sole purpose of getting from the source, to the tank in the truck, and then to my holding tank in the barn. From there my other system takes over. Do you...

    Stretch's used oil centrifuge

    You will have to let me know how the air operated pump works out. Are you going to drive it off the MV, or run it from a stationary compressor. Do you know how many GPM your pump is? And what kind of CFM will it need t sustain operation. I am very interested in the air operated pump for the...

    Stretch's used oil centrifuge

    nf, In my setup, I don't put goo through the pump. I go from the pick up tube, to the inlet of the prefilter, through the 5 micron filter, then the pump, and a choice of back into the drum to cycle through again, or directly into the centrifuge then back into the drum. This way you don't mess...

    Nf6x, Concerning the question about the longivity of the 5 micron filter set up. Double edge sword. The oil I get ~ 70 gallons to date all came from friends wanting to get rid of the stuff they have had in their garage. Lord only knows what was in it, but I did catch on one occation that a...

    Stretch's used oil centrifuge

    Here is a quick snapshot of the batch processor (cold method). Still in the process of putting it all together. The motor and pump are still not assembled, but the centrifuge, 5 micron filter/water separator, and filler funnel are assembled. When I get it complete, I will do a full write up...

    Stretch's used oil centrifuge

    Mark, See if they have a CFM rating on the air pump, the deuce will probably run it, but don't count on the specs they may provide in terms of GPM. Also it would be good to check with the rest of the folks on here as to how long you should keep a deuce running in a stationary manner at an RPM...

    Stretch, How many times did you send the oil through the centrifuge prior to being profiled ? TG

    Stretch's used oil centrifuge

    Thanks Bjorn, I would like to dump the oil and get a base line of what the duece is doing "oil wise" that is. It would be interesting to know as the report NAPA provides appears very useful.

    Thank you to all who contributed to the sampling process. This is very interesting. Can you comment on the amount of oil you had to send them? How it was packaged? Thanks TG
