Wow! Surprised to see this old thread again. Now that I have a few years experience filtering & burning WMO, I can give some advice. First advice would be to read all the info in the "alternative fuel" thread. There are a lot of good ideas. And some that are too complicated/expensive. Gravity...

Great info guys! Keep it coming. I'm slowly-but-surely getting stuff together to make some cheaper fuel. A buddy gave me a barrel pump, & another some 1 micron filters. I don't know what I'll be using yet, but I've spread the word & my friends are coming through with different things I may use...

David, I'm sure you're right about that. So maybe the"filtered" oil in the drums should be run through a final filter/water separator as it's being pumped into the truck's tank? Any thoughts on the best filter setup for that? Eric

Alphadeltaromeo, I really don't know yet. It's a small but busy shop, so probably all I need. A SeaBee buddy of mine works for a forklift repair company, & I could get a lot of drain oil/ hydraulic oil/brake fluid mix from them, but I don't know if the brake fluid would be safe. Just found a guy...

I too would much prefer a simple setup. Just want to be sure I don't wreck anything, so I have more questions. Remember, I'll be getting the used stuff from an auto repair shop, so it'll probably be pretty dirty. 1. Wouldn't hydraulic filters plug up pretty quickly? Some sort of prefilter...

Thanks Polverone, I checked out the info you provided. I read somewhere on SS that someone had blown an IP because of teflon particles in the oil. As I sure can't afford that kind of damage, I really want to be sure all the crap is filtered out. And who knows what may get dumped in their drain...

Would like to filter used motor oil/ transmission fluid/ gear oil to mix with gasoline for my multifuel. Any thoughts on micron size I need to filter down to? Thanks, Eric
