I keep it low key as possible. When the garage door is open it's mostly
concealed. The garage
door was made for a golf cart and is on
the side of our house.
Notice the
black computer rack. You can find a hundred homemade systems on the
internet...no two look alike. This is my interpretation.
(Only wash water goes down the sink.)
For awhile after a batch was processed I'd run it through a centrifuge.
Not to happy
with this. What works better is an inverted bucket stuck down
in the top opening with a
small fan mounted over the bucket, blowing down into the tank
through the output of a
flat fan spray nozzle. The centrifuge bypass runs through the
flat fan spray nozzle.
One of these days I'll remove and sell the centrifuge and pump
replacing the pump with
the $39.00 workhorse Harbor Freight 1" clear water pump.
Before processing I put the used oil in these 30 gallon barrels. After
emptying each barrel
I replace the trash
can liner.
A few words about the floor. Of course I had a concrete garage floor
as most do. Making
bio on a concrete floor
is problematic to say the least. As you know you can completely
drain the oil from a 6
foot section of hose...throw it on the floor, and an additional quart
will immediately drain
out. If you don't know this you haven't made bio.
I had a polyaspartic polyurea floor coating installed. Saw this
product at the fair in OKC. I used
the guys from the fair
for installation...they don't have a website. This
site gives an idea of
what's involved.
300 Gal tank in trailer. The whole thing can be pulled out on to a carrier
to be filled in the garage.
The fuel circuit on the left is
to heat and filter. Not used when in transit. Of course the circuit
on the right is to fill the
fuel tank of the towing vehicle...our 2006 Itasca Navion with the 2.7
liter Mercedes diesel. (The tank is partially pulled out in this photo.)
Gives us a range
of about 3500 miles.
Trailer is all aluminum, dual axle, with a combined weight of 3500lbs.
at 300 gals.
