Been running my truck (on/off) waste veg oil since '05 and its been a great money saving side venture/adventure for sure.  Noticed other folks commenting here on what people think/say when they hear of this concept and it never ceases to amaze me how most turn their noses up at the whole idea, or comment on how "you are being cheap" (because of course they aren't trying it, nor reaping any of the benefit)...yet shockingly for many of them, its perfectly okay to sponge off the government for years and years and years, steal to make ends meet, or even accept wars of human sacrifice and mass-destruction to procure and control foreign oil. It is amazing to me how so many can be so short sighted... even when simple DIY solutions are presented to them in a step-by-step youtube video.  Oh well... more waste veg oil for the rest of us I guess ;)

Hi mate. I have built one of your pumps (scooter motor and modified chev oil pump). Works amazing for collecting oil! I also tried your oil dewatering system using nozzle and recirculation pump. I processed 200L of wet oil today and it worked a treat. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I used a silicone drum band heater from ebay to heat the oil in the drum while it circulates. I used the water filter to filter it. I used an old oscillating fan to keep airflow over the oil. Think I'll set something up with a ventilation fan to suck air through top of drum when I find a cheap used one. Thanks again mate for sharing.

Thank you for sending me over her from the IFLA group, Sir!! Things to do this coming summer!

You are very ingenious. The explanation is clear and very interesting to watch. Thank you.

Thank you Sir. Good job to you also.

i'm a cook, i think the foaming might be corn starch which may or may not be caught by a 5mic filter

Cheers for sharing mate 👍

Great setup!!

Pump. Pumps. Pumped. Pumping.

Nice vid. I will give it a try.

Brilliant vid, thanks

btw...GREAT VIDEOS!  Keep 'em coming!!

You got a funny accent mate :D I like it plus very good video

I feel smarter after watching this

Hi, in case anyone wonders regarding the drying with the fan in reverse:
If you blow air into the barrel, you create a slight overpressure and thereby increases vaporization temperature and it slows down the drying.
If you reverse and suck air out, you create a slight underpressure and lowers vaporization temperature and speeds up the drying.

As good a system as any I ‘ve seen .  Bit too small scale for my needs( I’m running two 4x4s using about 45 litres a week each). Good job bloke, love your pumps.  
 I do 1000 litres every 3 months in about 2-3 hours.  I do my supply pickups every week in the 20 lt drums.  Not sharing my plant as I’m too stupid to work utube.  I’m in NQ so don’t need to heat electrically for drying- The power of the sun!   I use three stages of settling in 1000 litre tanks, 3 months each time with first a screen then a coarse filter almost the same as yours, then a 5 micron filter and a final filter as I fill my tank.  I started with a 200 litre plant not unlike yours except I used old Commodore power steering pumps, which were a bit small when I upsized. Great video thanks.

good idea trailer
i have to for water (off grid place, with small bath rochet ü)

have fun

an electric hob plate used in some kitchens would be a good idea to accompany that fan to gently heat the oil to dry it also, i heat my oil before it flows to my burner as i seem to notice it ignite better and i get a better burn on a lower needle valve setting, if the oils cold i have to open the needle valve flow up more.  jus an idea,

Diesel foams like that too
