Just wanted to keep this post going

Here is my filter vessel that I have not made yet.

And here is my heated pickup that I made out of 3/4 and 1/2 inch copper pipe.

Sorry my camera was on micro mode. But you can figure it out if you squint.

This is the filter I bought for my truck and it is an amazing value. It is coolent heated,12v heated, water in fuel sensor and a thermistat. Very big, so could work on any vehicle. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=14009...=cross_promot_widget

This is a brand new lift pump that I purchased to use in my vegetable oil conversion, but I ended up using the 12v version of this pump (I have a dual 12/24v system) for various reasons. It comes with all mounting hardware. All sales are final. Buyer pays actual shipping. Feel free to ask any questions... Check out my other auctions for more veggie oil stuff...

Here's some details.

Walbro's 6067 pumps offer exceptional performance in a variety of demanding applications. The are perfect for automotive, truck, off-highway, agriculture, RV, and military or industrial applications. This pump is specifically for diesel fuels, though it is highly recommended on many websites for biodiesel and vegetable oil.

Because Series 6000 pumps have only three moving parts, there is practically nothing to wear out. Electronic circuitry, encased in epoxy to resisty shock and vibration, eliminates mechanical switching for exceptional reliability. A magnetic filter traps metallic particles. This pump has a 420 micron filter for diesel. Filters are easily accessible for cleaning.

The 6067 has a pressure rating of 10 psi. Series 6000 pumps are self-priming and have high lift capabilty. The 10 psi version is particularly useful with high heads, long lines and high lifts.

This info is from this company's web site www.spinnerii.com The spinner II 60SE is a highly efficient bypass filtration device. It diverts a small sidestream of oil for processing and returns clean oil to the crankcase. the centrifuge opperates at speeds in excess of 6,000 rpm to force contaminates out of the oil. this force slings contaminates smaller than 1 micron out of the oil and packs them into a dense cake on the wall of the cleanable bowl. expendable items are the collection paper and rubber o rings which are readily available and inexpensive. The three ports are oil supply, oil return, and air supply, There is lots of other good info on their web site. This item is used but is clean and works fine. This unit is similar to the 960 except the bowl is aprox 1" smaller in height. The third picture shows the two units bowl and paper size.

I have sold a few to buyers who are using them to filter waste veg oil

Omar, you always have interesting stuff, but there's one thing I don't understand; why do you post links to E-bay items when they always dead end into a "sorry, bidding for this item has ended" message? If you are the vendor, don't you know when the item has sold?

I always click on the link in the hope to learn more about the product, but the bidding is always over!

sometime the vendors has the product in their ebay store and sometimes it is just an idea that should be looked at ... O

Okay. Links to the store would be longer lasting, I think. Auctions end relatively quickly.

WEBB 525

COOLANT HEATED FUEL STRAINER

DIESEL, BIO-D, WVO

Lightly used (pre-tested) in a WVO system (shown still mounted).

Includes hose barb fittings and custom mounting plate with clamps.

Plate mounts to a flat vertical surface with four 1/4" bolts or studs.

Top is easily removed (v-band clamp with thumb knob) to lift out conical nylon mesh strainer screen (approximately 30 micron) for cleaning. Bottom ball valve drain.

Perfect for pre-filtering and heating your fuel of choice. Adds quite a bit of heat to the fuel. I had planned a multi-stage on-the-fly WVO setup but dicovered two tanks are really needed for that. Unit will be flushed out and well packed. Feel free to ask questions. Check my other auctions for related item(s). Thanks and best regards.
