    Built a simple WMO filtering setup

    Running 1-2psi, if I'm not flowing like the new ones, I'll know the filters are blocked up. Not sure what would be to gain on this setup if I added a pre filter pressure gauge. It'd only read 1-2psi as well from what the regulator shows.

    Not even enough to register on the gauge 1-2psi. Just enough to hear air passing the regulator. Don't need a lot of air pressure at all in this setup. Actually I tried using the setup with some old filters and it simply wasn't flowing worth a darn. Swapped the filters and went through 20...

    Actually, it was gravity and air pressure. If you look close, you'll see the black air hose leading into the tank. I already had one hose with a pressure regulator on it, but the regulator is on the input side of the hose.

    Yeah, it's the short hoist from harbor freight. The chain hoist is something a friend bought me at the rally last year. I use the chain hoist more to move the item up or down and the actual hoist more to just position things. 55 gallons of oil would weigh about 400lbs. The drum, another...

    Can't really see in the pics, but there's a lot of magnets stuck to the filters.

    Just a set of fuel filters and heads from tractor supply. 10 micron raiting. I'm thinking about adding a third filter at the start. A 50 micron mesh cleanable filter. That should grab any chunks and help stretch the life of the more expensive filters.

    Built a simple WMO filtering setup

    Used a plastic drum I had laying around and some 1" NPT fittings and two filter heads and some hose. 2psi will move a LOT of oil quick in the system. I went through two drums to fill up the bobber in maybe 10 minutes total. I used my hoist setup from my other deuce to lift it up. Simple...
