Hello All, We are using normal water filter housings and filter elements. They are easy to connect in line as they have standard threds (1" pipe connection). The filter element you find down to 5 microns / and they are easy to change and very cheap. We were using 65 micron washable element and then a 10 micron before fuling up. But now we only filter with one 10 micron prior to fuling the cars.
Seasonal Greetings from a - 3ˇC calm winter weather Finland.

They're available in ten micron and look like an oil filter. Available at most NAPA outlets in the US. Filter comes separate from the filter mount. The same can be mounted under a hood, presuming you have enough space. It's probably the least expensive resolution, at about $7.00 US per filter. The plumbing you'd have to concoct. New filters would have to be primed prior to mounting, no different than the factory fuel filter. As for filtering the WVO? Perhaps the least expensive filtration after screening and prior to pumping into a reactor is the ten inch restaurant cone filters. They're rather inexpensive and come in packs of fifty, or cases of five hundred from restaurant supply houses. They actually are a bit of overkill for biodiesel production, as all the particulates generally settle out in the glyc cocktail.
