Hello,

does anyone know the size of nylon coffee filters? They certainly have mesh too big for the oil but!

Would it not be possible to use a normal engine oil filter to filter the oil?

Uh? Are these the "permanent" filters you're talking about?

Yes it is possible but it is necessary to "heat" the oil but at the economical price of the filter I do not think that this is wise.

Oliomobile sells large pockets of filtering not very expensive I think ...

yes I saw that but they are 5 micron and I read that it needed better two micron, but can be 5 is enough.

2 micron is for Hdi ...

Non Hdi engine fuel filters are around the 5 microns, or even more so filtering at 2 microns is a nonsense ...

Hello,
Coffee filter ? it is good for the one who wants to have fun to make the experiment of laboratory pass a 20 liter of this way it asks patient and overflowing damage in view ...
The method is, well let the oil to heat more than 20c after extracting the top that becomes clear after 8 15 days then I pump it through a filter 5 micron industrial, and directly into the self.
The rest of the tank you let it drop again, you can find some liters, the rest you return in the barrel of the cook and if it too dirty changes canteen ...
In the car it goes into a heater then it goes loop in the car, you must always have a spare filter in the suitcase of the tank and of course the tools.
Even filtered at a micron it can clog the filter. It is not the impurities that clog it is a kind of margarine that cold coated filter cartridge ..

Hello

the pocket mobile are not bad, if you do small volume but it costs the skin of the ass (13 € plus port I think). http://www.aeden.fr they sell filter cloth to the meter is more than sewing.

the most important thing is to decant well, because if you put soup in your filters they close up right away.

we bump pre-filtering with pub teeshirt plus pocket 30litres 1m² we do about 1000litre by shirt and 4000litre per pocket; cost 4 € + 5 € = 9 € for 4000litres. in 4microns see-.

Hey Zac, I did not know that you had become director of a filtration plant so say

Can you give us some pictures of your montages on occasion?

Hello
no problem, but I send them by mel because it gives me to go through all the look to put on the site.
you'll have them tomorrow night, after you do what you want.

ok thanks to all

if you opt for coffee filters, opt for the industrial, those of the communities, because you can put them in a wastebasket without worries and if you do not have 200 liters to spend it can suffice.

On the other hand, the fact of heating the oil to filter it, I am not convinced, because you make pass the waxes with. The few times that I had to do it, the result after letting it rest was not folichon.

In terms of hardware, Aeden indeed has good (that's why I sell material from his home here in Belgium ) and its 5 micron fabric is flawless and more flexible than monopoel. You can position it as you hear ^^
