It's not much but it works. The bag filters to 5 microns and does a pretty good job.

No idea. It takes about 1 hr +/- 15 min. for 5 gallons. It's not very time effective with large amounts but it's easy on the wallet and works for me.
What's your source for the bag and what's its part number, etc.

I would be interested in knowing this as well.

Filter Bag Source
Check out a seller on Ebay by the name of dudadiesel. That is where I got my filters.

Duda diesel in Alabama is a good source for filter bags. Look them up on google. They are fast shippers, very reasonably priced and also have the screen filters to set on the top of a 55 gal drum or 5 gal bcket. The screens are plastic and inter lock and you can go from a 200 to a 75 micron and get all the big stuff out real fast then filter through the bag. This prevents slower filtering and clogging up the filter bags as fast. Thats what I do. Also I heat my oil about 4-5 gal at a time to make it thinner and then filter it. I heat it on a propane burner. Having the oil warm speeds the filter process.

Is there a maximum recommended amount of oil for each filter? I would think you would want to do 40 - 50 gallons per filter to make it worth it. What about anti- freeze or water contamination?
I think the best way to go is to let it all settle for a good while. The antifreeze will stay mixed w/ the water & should settle to the bottom. I either pump or pour the oil into my heating barrel (55g drum w/ a 1" NPT fitting housing an old hot water element). From there, all the water is boiled off. Then it let it cool overnight (it settles again) & filter from there. My drain valve on the heating barrel is 1/4 the way up from the bottom to avoid sediment. I use progressively finer filters to avoid clogging things up all at once.
I am running WVO, but the concept/process is the same, if not simpler w/ WMO, as its much cleaner to begin with.
One of these days I'll get a few pics.
