Just stating a fact fella. Power steering pump running pressure is 100 to 150 average. When turning the steering wheel that will go up to 1000 to 1500 PSI. Resistance to flow determines pressure. I have to make me one. Nice work fella too. VF
Good morning. I to have made a system just like this about 13 years ago. I use sock filters 25 then 1 micron to fill the drum. My drum is insulated and I have a 2000 watt heater to warm the oil over 212 to dewater the oil. When the oil is hot it runs through the system easier, more particulates stick in the rotor. I run the system for 12 hours, which translates to about 12 full passes through the centrifuge for the volume of my drum. I add RuG while warm and circulate for mixing. let it settle for a week anything left will settle to the bottom. I have the drum vented to the outside through a small filter. When the oil is ready for use it’s at about 10 weight very thin and slippery. I run the WMO in my m35a2 deuce, old dodge. It has 2 tanks, one for oil one for d2. Change filter more often. Have had no problems also run an additive. Diesel here is 6.29 a gallon.
Can anyone recommend a good off the shelf PS pump? People keep telling me they are < $50 dollars but I'm not seeing that. Also, how do I match pulleys? My motor has a .625 keyed shaft.
Nice video. Just want to mention, you guys have dirt cheap fuel in the US. Here in northern Europe, 1 litre (0.26 us gallon) of diesel costs currently 1.4 eur, which is something around 1.6usd. Gasoline is slightly more expensive.
I'm still using the turkey fryer method for WVO for my 6.9. Though I admit putting 5 gallons of motor oil on an open flame would be pretty sketchy, my cost per gallon is about $0.05.
@bearendproductions So what year is your Powerstroke, I running an 02 7.3L by filtering it down to 5 micron. So far no issues but I am going to upgrade to a centrifuge system?
That's awesome man. If watch about the agriculture department though....they frown on black oil diesel....or any other fuel that can't tax and regulate. How often do you have to take the centrifuge apart for cleaning?
So I am Looking to get into this also. I have a few questions for you. First, you said you run 10 perfect gas and then cut 50/50 with diesel on top of that? What is the purpose of that? A lot of people seem to say 80 percent oil and then 20 percent gas and then run it. I’ll be running it in a 7.3 so if this mix works well then I’m certainly all about it . Second, does that centrifuge not have a motor on it? Does it just use the pressurized oil to spin it? Third, from what I can tell you simply have a 55 gallon drum, you fill it with oil, then just have the oil continuously cycle through until it’s clean? There isn’t a holding tank or anything like that right? Thank you so much for the help. I’m really looking to save some money with this
7.3 L gang! About to do the same thing. Except I wasn't going to mix the oil w the diesel fuel 50/50. Is that necessary or can I do the rear tank as oil only? Thanks
