filtering UMO oil ( HOW )????

[reom35a2fluiter]

Dear guest,
Since a year I bought a deuce and a half with a LDT-465-1C whistler multifuel.
In the last year are the fuel prices rose sharply here in the Netherlands,
€ 1,75 petrol ( gas ) € 1,48 diesel is no longer funny to drive with my truck.
I have the last week a lot of information sought about the mixing of oil and other fuels on steelsoldiers.

I have the following other members heard (read) about the mixing of:
WMO, UMO, WVO, gas, diesel, kerosine etc…..

· mix for a 100 gal batch is 30 gals of WVO, 30 gals WMO, 30 gallons straight diesel and 10 gals of regular gas.
· last tankful of Waste Motor Oil & Diesel was about 90% filtered WMO mixed with 10% diesel.
· running a 50/50 mix of WMO and diesel.
· Everybody has an a opinion on mixture, have ran 50/50 WMO/gas and had very good luck.
· 50/50 umo and deisel. truck loves it.
· run 80/20 synthetic (80 is oil).... Get a bypass filter assy from napa and pump it through at a low PSI.
· run an approximate 60/40 WMO-Diesel mix
· tanks are almost always full of 100% used oils.
· When diesel went out of sight I ran 50/50 gas and used motor oil.
· I would run 50/50 diesel and UMO or tranny fluid.
· All last winter ran mixed fuel, approx 50/50 diesel and UMO
Myself I have at my disposal oil (UMO), petrol and diesel mixed with gasoline. These fuels can get at a car garage. Could you also drive possibly on the old petrol and diesel???
What percentage will I need to save to it???
And to the mix???
I would be carefull to minimize damage to my injection pump.

The oil I get is used motor oil. This should of course be mixed well.
The information on steelsoldiers I have many filters pass. How many filters do I need to filter at and which microns???
I have the following filters to see it coming on SS: 100,50,20,10,5 and 1 micron.
What filters can I use???
And what about water in the oil??

Will you please post pictures how do you filter oil???
Thanks for your help.
Regards,

stefan

I think to save it for 50/50 to do.
50% UMO and 50% mixed with diesel and gas.
Or maybe 50% UMO and 50% gas.
Or 50% UMO and 50% diesel.

Start out with the 50-50 mix. I use a simple air operated barrel pump to push it through a 10micron filter. Some guys use a centrifuge and others use the filter bags and gravity.

 

[reom35a2fluiter]

ok I will start with the 50/50 mix. I want an electric pump for this use. I don’t know if it is necessary to put between 3 filters of 20,10 and 1 micron??

the more filtered the better, i also use magnets in my setup just in case, i use drip bags though. I also run a 50/50 mix and no problems yet

 

[srodocker]

MAn good call on magnets....maybe i'll throw some old harddrive magnets down on the bottom of the barrel...

 

[scoutmanadam]

you will be surprised how much metal shavings are on them, also makes drip bags last longer as they don't imbed in the material

 

[reom35a2fluiter]

How do your setup looks like with the magnet, So if I understand you do the Magnets in the barrel??

My successful use has been 80 used motor oil and 20 parts gasoline. Old stale gas is fine, stinky stale gas is not as good.

Blend uMO and gas really well. Let set there to five days. Drain any water and sludge off of bottom. Filter through one micron filter. If you can locate 2 micron spin on filter for catepillar, that is the best.

I filter through 22 micron and fifteen micron before I filter through two micron. You can filter only through two micron, but the filters clog very quickly.

Im very interested in this... subscribed. opcorn:

Gasoline?

makes it thinner so the injectors / fuel pump / fuel filters like it better ... at least thats what im told

Gasoline also seems to have the effect of helping junk and suspended contaminates fall out of suspension. After they fall out, the filtering process goes much smoother and the filters last much longer.

I have some magnets on the strainer to were the dirty oil gets poured into my waste barrel so that the oil runs over them before going into it. I also have some in my first filter sock. probably overkill and unnecessary but in my mind its only "free" fuel if it doesn't cost a bunch in filters or repairs down the road.

oke thanks for the info, I will try first with the 50/50 mix.
and I will eventually look what percentage I think it is the best one.
The filters are still in the reo standard 10 micron right??

which is always a disadvantage that there always some iron in used oil can sit on the engines.
it is a good idea to use magnets during filtering. of course you want this stuff does not get in the tank.

Make sure you put a bypass valve in the flow path. If the filters get clogged and you have no bypass, you could crush the filters, putting un-filtered fuel in the filtered fuel, or worse, bursting a housing.

I don't think it is necessary to filter in three stages, but I do think it is wise(a good idea).

 

[reom35a2fluiter]

I have 2 ideas made​​:
so must be about my filter installation will look. only I must have a magnet on the installation.
the only problem is that we herevin NETHERLANDS environmental zone have some city.
