    I was taking it for recycling, but lately filter to 1 micron and in it goes with some diesel.

          How do you filter to within one micron Andy, and do you just use the old oil from a Diesel engine or could you use petrol engine oil as well

                Nothing to stop you making one with a fuel filter from the Surf...just need a pump to push the oil threw..10 Micron I think that would be.

                  surf fuel filter won't be that good.
                  really need a common rail diesel filter. preferably staged filters or even a toilet roll filter.
                  however burning lots of engine oil can cause build up in the combustion chamber.

                  there are engines out there that run lossy oil systems. they inject the engine oil into the fuel line. just top up the engine oil every day. if i remember right they inject up to 10% oil into the diesel.
                  i think the emissions standards have killed those systems.
