[biofuel] Re: pneumatic exhaust silencers / final filtering of biodiesel
G'day Greg; http://www.mscdirect.com/MSCCatLookup2.process?MSCProdID=60526142 has the pneumatics you are looking for. They are in the US, so if that is where you are you can easily order them. As far as filtering goes, and I could need a little guidance here also, what I am going to do is, after the final wash, run it through a home heating furnace filter (it has a felt insert)as well as a clear in-line fuel filter effectively filtering it twice and then let it set for a week or to to see if anything else settles (which it shouldn't but...)

Re: [biofuel] Re: pneumatic exhaust silencers / final filtering of biodiesel
Hi L, Thanks for the information on the silencers. Yes, I am in the US $2.80 is not a lot to pay. When I go through the 8 or 10 that I have, I'll get some ordered. Like I mentioned in my post, we used something quite similar in an early form of an oil grease extraction than Varian Scientific was involved with. We actually used them as a final filter for the test. They stood up to whatever we put through them. Now, at present, when I filter my biodiesel I do it the following way: 1) Use a 400 micron cone shaped paint strainer with some cheesecloth. That gets the big stuff. 2) Using the same strainer, but this time I remove the cheesecloth, replace it with a Wipe-All, a very thick paper towel. 3) Using the strainer once more, but replacing the used Wipe-All with 3 or 4 8-12 cup paper coffee filters, then allowing to sit for a few days. This helps considerbly, BUT, since I tend to be a bit anal retentive (that comes with my job), I want to filter it some more. Again, my thanks for the info on those silencers I apologize for being a bit long winded in my reply.

ERROR IN PREVOUS POST: Hi L, The silencers are $2.28, rather than $2.80.I need more coffee to wake up faster. Sorry for the mistake.
