I came across this website and a unit that looks interesting and simple to me, a guy who wants to get into WVO for his Delica......Has anyone heard of/had experience with/or using this system?
Thanks.....

You can put something better together yourself for less $$. That system is just a pump and filter which you can do for $300 or so. I bought a pump from redlinecustompumps.com and used some goldenrod 10u filters without a problem. The ideal situation would be to use a centrifuge system, which I'd be happy to go into more detail too when I'm not so inebriated.

I agree with Adam: you can put together that whole system for much less money. All you get with that product is the convenience of having it put together for you. Also, with a centrifuge, the water is removed along with the particulate, so one step in the cleaning process is removed by using a centrifuge.

Thanks for the advice....I will look into purchasing all the stuff seperately....So if I go with a centrifuge it is much easier? Do I need to test every batch of fuel for the water being removed, or does the centrifuge gaurantee that? With the centrifuge do I also need to heat the oil? That step is to increase the viscosity to filter out the water or am I way off base here.
Thanks for the help

I can't wait. I am picking up a centrifical filter on monday from a dealer in redding california !!He is giving me it for the sale price. I am very excited !
I am going to put together a gear pump and motor from princess auto for $160 and then a band heater from ebay for $125
A barrel from craigs list for $15 . It should be a tidy set up,looking like the one in the photo in the first post.
