I am interested in the SpinnerII or RCI Purifier for a couple of specialty projects other than veggie filtration. Has anyone used one of these?

This week I called the factory and the price for the SpinnerII model 960 (smaller unit) is $490. Some here have mentioned finding it at a lower price. Could you post here or drop me a line for a discount source?

Ebay. I got my RCI's there for 25 buks each but they are HIGH VOLUME ones for large tank cleaning. Need fluid going at about 15gpm thru them to be effective.

This is a link to another similar link on this forum called "G-Force seperation", a bit more discussion about washing machine ideas.

92 dodge cummins with over 260,000 miles. Running an unheated 50% diesel/50% WVO blend for about the last 75,000 miles when temps above 50 deg f, no modifications or heating except the addition of a throw-away in-line fuel filter (removed during cold weather).
As of 8-01-05 I have been testing a 75% WVO/15% gasahol (90% RUG/10% ethanol)/10% diesel blend. Works fine down to about 65 f then starts rough. Runs ok once engine warms up. Back to a 50/50 diesel blend sence 9-15-05, just to cool now. -- 11-01-05 Modified stock fuel tank internal fuel pickup to have I.D. of 3/8 inch, this eliminated cold start slow idle and bogg on acceleration. Now adding 1 ounce each of acetone and pure gum spirits of turpentine to each 5 gallons of any blend, seems to help keep the fats in solution to a lower temperature --Heated 2nd tank in the works

You guys are making me really jealous on these eBay deals! I haven't found any centrifugal/cyclonic type oil filters using searches including "oil, filter, filtration" etc.

How do these work with colder/thicker oils? Do you have to heat the oil to at least 90 degrees to get the flow rate up?

Thanks,

Todd

I've always run the oil/BD through it at about 140 F. On ebay I searched for "centrifuge".

So how does the Spinner II do at water separation? Anyone test this? How does it compare for filtration and water separation with say a Racor 1000 type filter?
