| Oil Filtering Station |
Proper filtration is the key to operating a Greasecar reliably. There are many factors that dictate the quality of vegetable oil and a variety of processing methods to suit the different needs of Greasecar users. On this page we hope to give you several options for collection and filtration, remember: the more effort spent assembling a good filtration setup the less effort the job of filtering will be.
Though filtration process and equipment are important to ensure the cleanliness of your oil they are not the only factor. Choosing a good source of oil is equally important. If oil is heavily contaminated to begin with it will be that much harder to process for use in your vehicle. A good clean source of straight vegetable oil will mean much simpler collection and filtration which will translate to a happier driver and less onboard filter maintenance.
Though most oil sources can be used you will want to choose wisely because not all waste oil is created equal. Though any vegetable oil can be burned with a Greasecar conversion system the condition of the waste oil will vary depending on the policies of the oil source and how it is stored. We will try to address most of these variables below.
Finding an oil source is the first step to your petroleum independence. There are several common sources of oil for your diesel, selecting one is largely dependant on the quantity of oil you will need as well as your location. Storing oil can become a real inconvenience so you should find a source that suits your needs. The most common sources of free vegetable oil are:
- Restaurants
- Distributors
- Chip companies
