Mel,
Your fuel filter must be have no bypass ability, should be of the same
micron as the original fuel filter for your vehicle and all of the fuel that is
used should be pre filtered to a micron smaller than the fuel filter.
As an example my original fuel filter is 10 micron so my new filter for
vegetable oil is 10 micron and all my fuel is pre filtered through paper then
through a one half micron filter sock. This assures my filter will last
much longer because the filter clogging takes place over a 55 gallon drum, not
inside my fuel filter.
There are filters for sale at:
and
Do not use an engine lubricating oil filter ............... most will
bypass and allow gunk to flow to your injectors, use a fuel filter. The
secret to running on SVO is overkill on the pre filtering. Depending on
your climate there are heating options available on some filter styles. I
need all the heat I can get here in Vermont. I like running SVO because I
need no lye or methanol. The gunk from filtering gets pot burned in my
stove for cooking and heat.
Hope that helps.
