This is my new dewatering & prefilter set up for waste vegetable oil. It is based on a system by erikk from this link: biodiesel.infopop.cc my site: www.kungpaojetta.com Blog on this set up kungpaojetta.blogspot.com

@joebro32 filters are cheap enough, why wait??? also there are filters you can wash and re-use. centrifuges are the key.
@holtonmusicman incorrect wvo is acidic biodiesel is not. there are many other problems associated with running svo other than this fuel line problem , clogged injectors, build up around valves, etc… don’t do it and if you have to don’t do it for very long… clouds up engine oil .
@jackfortunato wow talk about lazy.
@joebro32 don’t think I would run very much svo, cost is very little to make biodiesel after you have clean svo. svo is not good for the life of your engine. the increased mainenance cost do not overcome the cost of fuel. however I want to remove glycerine to make soap for personal use and profit.
So far so good but I don’t drive that much
I believe that is BioDiesel. SVO doesn’t remove the glycerin
so anyhow glycering is worth money as soap how do you remove this valuable substance?
Nice setup! This was in 2006, how is it working now? I am over 60,000 miles in my car exclusively from a WVO mix, using very similar methods.. watch my videos!
I believe that is bio-diesel, this is straight Veg Oil (SVO)
So how do you get rid of the glycerin?
Nice set-up and explanation!
I am glad you posted this useful info for people to view. Most postings are for magic parts or systems that are costly and performance is no better than well placed typical hardware parts. Don’t get scammed.
Well animal/veggie oil is a fatty acid. It will corrode and destroy your fuel system no matter how many times you filter it.
To correctly run a wvo, it needs to be converted into bio diesel. Add your choice of alcohol and add lye. Filter to remove the glycerin, spin the fuel to remove any thing else, and you are good to go!
how is an oil acidic…
wvo is very acidic….no amount of filters will fix that problem.
Wow…..way to much effort and parts. Check out my guide on ebay “vegetable support”
please visit the link in the description for most of your answers.
1. as much as a 60watt bulb cost
2. I use the containers the oil came in to reduce moisture
3. don’t know but iI think there are anti fungicide solutions for marine use
4. see link
5.v2 is easier because it is one drum. manually pour it in and use 12v pump to get it out
6. if you mean for a filter setup, most kit assemblers offer kits
I’m looking to do this myself and I have several questions…
1. How much does it cost for electricity to heat the drums per drum refill.
2. Can I store the finished product in large plastic barrels?
3. What additives can you use to prevent gelling or solidifying other than heat?
4. How much did your system cost?
5. How much manual labor is used to fill the drums?
6. Do you know of a dependable dealer?
this is a good video ☺ nice ideas
Nice setup. I am in the process of heating my home with WVO. just have a few more details to work out. your vid was very helpfull! thanks
very informative, what make and year of vehicle do you this on?
I’ve seen about 6 WVO videos and yours is the best so far. I think I’ll watch it again.
oh yes! I haven’t thought of that.
But I imagine that localized heat from the 60 watt cables you’ve got would perform similarly, but not as much so. Perhaps the ideal system would involve a thicker aluminum barrel with external heating for greatest uniformity.
dose that work in the colder days say -5 degrees where i live we only get a few that cold a month but it has to work every day
Most modern fuel line already has a synthetic lining…
WVO won’t corrode like bio diesle will…
I ran ONE tank of Bio Diesel and had black crud in my pre-filter…
WVO i haven’t had ANY of that…
I also concur with the post about adding alcohol seems to work fine (I actually cut my WVO in a 10 to 1 ratio with E-85).
