WVO3 system update
hey folks,
the wvo3 is up and pumpin, puts out a real clean product from some pretty dirty wvo. we have run about 120 gal. thru it so far w/ great results. only problem we have encountered is that if the wvo blend is below 60 dg. it really slooooows the processing time. must come up w/ a way to heat oil to 100dg
in the plastic drums. see the way system works you always have 15gal of blend in the mix tank and 25gals in the filter tank. so even if you heat the prefiltered oil up when you pump it in the mix tank it hits cool oil. then after the mixing and settleing time it is cooler yet. then it flows by gravity into the filter tank w/ cold oil in it so you lose all your heat.
in the summer it won't be an issue but since we are starting in the fall we will have so expirments to do w/ heating, what a blast.
all in all is a good set up, we are adding a pump setup to it for mixing and transfering oil in attemp to make a closed system.

I've been following your progress w/great interest...so in the end what product do you have...Not really biodiesel...more a thinned filtered quasi-wvo blend... Correct??? Would there be any limitations. (Web site says at worst 50/50 blend will run anything,anywhere) I like the simplicity if it works reliably.
put salt and baking soda in your WVO heat to 100 degrees. filter down to 5 microns blend with diesel and you have the same thing for ALOT less money...

MORNIN,
ya it is just a clean filtered blend. we stared out w/ a 80/20mixand it worked fine. when we did the next batch our first cold front came thru after wilmaso we went to a 70/30 no problems. so far i have about 1000 miles on the truck, just wish i knew how soon i should change the filter after switching from dino.
forrest,
i'm do that test as we type, i was interested to se if the sponge filter and resin(silica gel) i think it sure looks like the stuff in the little packs. the salt and soda have sat for 36 hrs getting ready to have a look.
read ya soon

thanks Doug keep us posted. if you use a whole house water filter you can rplace that spong with it.in other words on you out (spout) set up a 5 mic filter or use a filter bag to replace that spong
