Dave, I have made the same experience with filtering WVO - it seems that very small organic particles clog the filter. My way around this is to warm the WVO up to about 60 degrees Celsius, let the solid particles settle for about 4 - 6 hours and then suck the oil from the surface with a hose into the filter. This works more or less - if anyone has another (better) way to filter it - I am interested to get to know, too!

My problem is how do I prefilter the oil so I do not use up so many disposable auto oil filters?. I have tried reusable stainless steel coffee filters with hot oil but they plug up in about a gallon and have to be cleaned. Any suggestions? _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/biofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/ _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/biofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/
