I did it a bit differently but the same principle. I use only 22 liter pails
for collection and storage of WVO. I came across a 20 liter paint pail which
has the same body dimensions as the 22 liter so I cut off the bottom leaving
about 1/2 of the pail intact, strapped the screening mesh over the top of
the now half pint pail and secured it around the edges with grapple bar,
allowing the mesh to droop into the center of the pail. This half pail is
then placed inside the rim of the 22 liter pail and just sits there pretty
as you please and I filter my heated WVO that way. Whatever works eh ?

Cheepo 5 gallon Filter Assembly to filter WVO to your Pre-heat tank or
reactor.
I found a solution to filter the WVO before adding it to my Processor.
*******************************************************************************************************************************************************
Take two (or three) 5 Gallon round drywall buckets and cut the bottoms from
both. ( I used a jig saw with no problem) If the buckets have sealed lids,
cut the lids out as well.
Bucket A: Wrap a 28"x 28" or so, (fiberglass) mesh window screen around the
bottom and side leaving no gaps. Pay attention to conforming the screening
to the bottom and don't worry too much about the bucket sides as the
screening will crease.
Install Bucket A into Bucket B. This will hold the filter (screen) in
place.
Slide a 2"x4", or pipe through the handle to support the filter bucket over
your preheat tank and pump or pour your WVO.
I imagine you can add a third bucket to the design with a smaller or larger
micron filtration, but the window mesh was sufficient.
Thank you,
Kevin Shea
