Inside it houses 2 55 gallons drums. Drum #1 (on left) even has a site level glass. They are wrapped with 40 feet of electric heat tape and well insulated and covered in heavy aluminum foil. Once heated and settled in drum #1 its pumped thur a 10 micron then a 5 micron whole house filter into Drum #2 for more heat and settleing and then pumped thur a 1 micron filter directly into the truck (see pic 4). read more at this link http://www.greasecar.com/forum_topicview.cfm?frmtopicID=17224have a good read Omar www.omarsales.com

I found a better way to make the filters than sewing the polyester cloth around the coat hanger. I found a 12" plastic Quilting Hoop at the fabric store, and it works great! I just put the circle of polyester cloth on top of the inner ring, and place the outer ring on top. I pull a little through to make a bowl shape in the cloth, and the tighten up the wing nut. The ring fits perfectly around the top of a 5 gal bucket! I just throw away the cloth when it gets dirty, and replace it with another piece. Sorry, no photo. I could not get my photo host to upload.

You can also use a pillow case. They will often have the fabric folded back at the opening end. Just poke a hole in each end of this and run cord or whatever through it. I don't know what the micron rating of a pillow case is(it really depends on the fabric and how worn it is.) but it is a good prefilter.

http://kaxeengineer.blogspot.com/Everyone has a different way of dewatering and filtering their WVO... here's some pics of how I'm doing it. I use 4 stages of filtration-- a coarse filter, a 20 micron water filter, and finish with 5 + 1 micron sock filters. Dewatering consists of heating the oil in a propane turkey fryer to around 250F. The oil I'm getting has very little water to start with and I only occasionally hear slight crackling as the oil heats up. have a good read Omar www.omarsales.com
