Info and How to filter Used vegetable or engine oil for use in Diesel engines or waste oil Burners. Used oil is an excellent source of free energy and an alternative diesel fuel.
Please check out the other Vids on my channel youtube.com/user/glumpy10/videos
Filtering oil is essential for use in Diesel engines as an alternative fuel. It is best to filter down to 5UM ( micron) or less in order to make the fuel clean enough for vehicle use. This method of using felt material is very cheap and effective in making the finer filters in your processing last much longer.

As well as removing the majority of dirt and unwanted particles, the felt also removes unwanted fats that can condense and block on board vehicle filters. Pre filtering like this is an alternative to cleaning used or waste oil when there is not enough time or reserve to let the waste oil settle which also results in very good cleaning of the oil.
This works best over the warmer part of the year so the oil needs to be left 3-6 months depending on the season it is collected.

I will be doing more Vids on running vehicles on used oil soon so please subscribe for updates as they are released.

How to filter Waste Vegetable oil Fuel ( WVO)

Waste Oil burner Flame control and automation.

$Steel melt in Home Brick furnace. Waste oil Burner Furnace Melts steel Crucible and causes runaway of molten metal out the bottom. The oil burner only used about 3L of Waste cooking oil to heat up and destroy the fire extinguisher bottle I had been using to melt Aluminium in the furnace. The Burner was only running at very low power but the concertntration of heat was still enough to melt the steel Crucible. As well as Burning through the extinguisher Bottle in around 4 Minutes, The waste oil burner which was only runing at very low output also burnt through the stainless steel plate on the bottom of the furnace as well as a insulating brick tile from an industrial gas heater and the piece of galvanised iron it was all sitting on. I need to rebuild the Furnace with some proper refractory to stop the bricks melting any further than what they have and also find some thicker steel to make Crucibles with. From what I have been told it would appear that the furnace which is made from ordinary house bricks has easily reached tempratures of 1500-2000oC in the limited time it has been run and with the burner doing no where near its full output.

$Melting Aluminium with brick furnace oil fired. Melting scrap aluminium for casting with the brick furnace using waste oil as heat source. See my other 80 Vids for how to build these burners and how they work. Please dont forget to like, comment and share this vid around. Waste oil provides a cheap and powerful fuel for melting all metals from aluminium casting through to cast iron. This was the first time I have fired an oil burner in a long time but it lit right up and without trouble. As its been a while I thought Id go over the setup of how this works yet again as I am always getting questions and maybe some people will not have seen my vids before. The Aluminium melted much quicker in the furnace with the waste oil burner firing it up than with the wood I tried last time. I could have done better with the wood but using an oil burner if far easier and provides loads more heat with better control. The furnace is made of Common house bricks. I used a clay and sand mix as a refractory but will re do it using some wire as a binder for it to stick to so it does not crumble as much.$

Easy lighting Wide Flame oil burner for BBQs, space heating, Scrapping,

$Waste oil Burner WVO WMO This is a proto type Waste Oil Burner I made that runs on WVO, WMO or any similar waste liquid. This waste oil Burner uses forced air supplied by a reversed vacuum cleaner and gravity fed Veg oil. The drum is a 60L size and the burner will digest more than 12L of oil an hour at full power with this blower. With the concept proven I will build a more substantial version from a water heater tank and line it with refractory and put more coils in it for heating water for the house for winter and my swimming pool. The water in the bucket was 10L and was boiled in under 5 min. There is still a lot of efficiency to be gained from this setup.$
