Would You Like a Simple Way to Clean Waste Oil? Oil is scarce, typically dirty and a mess to work with. It’s one of the most energy dense substances known to man, so its value will keep increasing as supplies keep dwindling. Unfortunately, oil is treated like trash, just because it’s a little dirty. You see the insanity of this right? When Exxon drills for oil, that stuff comes out really dirty…and they see it as black gold. Millions of gallons are slipping right through the fingers of individuals and small businesses. That’s a lot of energy and money going down the drain, when it could be reused and kept by the individual giving oil independence. The waste oil we have right in our shops and neighborhoods is no

Many folks are recycling waste motor oil into fuel for waste oil burners and diesel engines. It’s also known as black diesel. Thus, used motor oil from engines is a waste product that can be turned into fuel. Once the oil is cleaned and viscosity reduced, it is becomes a great cheap and abundant fuel source. Many folks are doing this around the globe. While still in its experimental stages, many continue to engage in “Maverick” experimentation on our vehicles in the name of cheap diesel and energy independence. Basic information from other’s experimentation is gleaned from forums and we refine our processes through a never ending trial and error. Used Motor Oil is full of contaminants that will damage your fuel system and engine.

Waste Vegetable Oil contains a number of contaminants...all the way from french fry bits to tiny specs of flour. Even freshly pressed oil contains waxes and water which affect flavor and pass right through filters. There is no substitute for an oil centrifuge. They are widely accepted as they answer for cleaning vegetable oil. Many start out with filter bags, and at one point upgraded to pressure driven centrifuges. Now, most people serious about taking care of their vehicles upgrade to these open bowl type centrifuges. They hold much more debris, clean finer and are much less hassle. You don't have to sit around and babysit them like the pressure driven centrifuges. Running waste vegetable oil as fuel is a great idea. You need

Step 1: Get the Right Vehicle – It has to be a diesel! In 1895 Rudolph Diesel Created the Diesel engine to run on Peanut oil. He wanted to allow small scale farmers a way to fuel the equipment. Now WVO(waste vegetable oil) and other biofuels are much thicker(viscous) than standard diesel, so special fuel system modifications are required. Not all Diesels can run WVO or biofuel. Some diesel Fuel systems have different mechanisms that fail with WVO and Biodiesel. These are specifically new models that have trap oxidizers and special emission adaptations. Great Alternative Fuel Diesel Vehicles that Can Run WVO are: - Diesel Trucks from the 80s and 90s – Ford/Dodge/Chevy - 1980s era Mercedes Diesels – 300D, 300SD, 300SD - 1990s Volkswagon Diesels Step 2: Get Oil – Back in 2008, before commercial

These open bowl centrifuges work great at cleaning any type of oil.  The “force settle” contaminants from the oil and allow for reuse of the oil in machines or as fuel.  For oil over 5% solids, it’s best to settle the oil first, then run it through the centrifuge. Volvo Aero and Rolls Royce both use this exact centrifuge to clean their cutting/tool fluid.   It’s amazing what Vovlo did with the centrifuge, running it 20hrs a day, 6 days a week.  They were very happy as this direct drive oil centrifuge outperformed the belt driven models.   We also have customers in the mining industry and the oil and gas exploration fields. The oil centrifuge is working in: Transmission Shops Machine Shops Manufacturers Mines The savings in oil costs are likely
