Please note:

The information on this website is outdated but not completely obsolete.  I have chosen to leave it intact as an archive and so people can still access the still useful links, designs, and info on it.

However I strongly suggest that you go to the VO Conversion Basics Website at http://voconversionbasics.websitetoolbox.com/ for the most up to date information on VO coversions in an indexed format. That website is continually updated, easily searchable, and allows you to ask questions if you cannot easily find the answers you seek there.

"sock filters" in about 5 minutes for about $5 each and a primer on how to collect, transport, filter, and store WVO.  Cost for the "how to" file $US20.00.  

High capacity semi-automated vacuum prefilter unit. This unit, while a bit more complicated than the simple handpump prefilter unit, has a higher potential capacity and can filter up to 100 gallons per day of WVO per unit. Once filtered batches of WVO are then pumped to a bulk storage tank (not included) automatically where dewatering can be initiated. This base unit is designed for those operating heavy equipment, large trucks, tractors,or generators on WVO. Perfect for WVO fuel co-ops. Cost to assemble the base unit is approx. $65. Directions, pictures, and diagrams aid in putting this simple unit together in a few hours. Also included are directions on how to make your own high temp.
