Firstly I must apologise for the lengthy post

NB.
Prior to August 2009, SVO was my main Fuel (1990 2.4 Surf) in quantities equivalent to WVO figures after August 2009

The Bulk of my WVO is 100% Peanut Oil, I also collect from Indian n Chinese outlets in smaller quantities but the process is the same 15 months on.
NB. all Filtering is cold

1st Filter
In early August 2009 I started filtering WVO through old tights removing batter n crackling etc) into old used clean SVO 20 litre containers n left to settle.

2nd Filter.
After 6 weeks empty the 20 litre containers (pre filtered) into the top one of the 2 empty, 3 litre SVO containers (see pics) in turn it’s filtered into the second 3 litre container where its collected into another used clean 20 litre container, filters on both 3 litre containers are Multi purpose absorbent cloth.
http://www.hiluxsurf.co.uk/attachmen...4&d=1252398326

After 3 months of using 20 litre containers larger containers were needed as collection of WVO increased…

3rd Filter
With more absorbent cloth in a funnel now filter the 20 litre container oil into a 200 litre (storage) water butt (with tap fitted)

4th Filter
Use yet another empty 20 litre container for collection of filtering final oil through a coffee filter (in a funnel) from the 200 litre (storage) n in to ya 20 litre container.

I happily used this set up for about nine months (cumbersome as it was) it suited, until I was offered a smaller less complicated tried n tested setup
No Pics available atmo will post soon as …

So to sum up my last 6 months Filtration system

1. Filter through old tights removing batter n crackling etc
2. Filter (using multipurpose absorbent cloth) into 200 litre Storage Container n allow to settle.
3. Move to a large plastic Dustbin type (with lid) approx 100 litres via outlet to rubber hose

Really interesting, Jess. Many thanks. The Xantia thingy intrigues me! Have you added any petrol to your wvo mix? do you have any de-watering tips?....Cheers....Mick.

Hi Mike,
I know this is of general interest to all but Cos this thread is in the General section n is unrelated to my original mileage post, I will be moving it to here.

I will in future make all updated relevant info n pics available in the "Sticky" Veg Oil thread started by (Paul) "Biosurf" originally where all interested parties can follow it here http://www.hiluxsurf.co.uk/showthread.php?t=55767
Watch this space ....
