Diesel RVs: Re: [diesel_mercedes] Max Age WVO - WAS Re: [CARS-ETC] What's up with U.S. gasoline prices?

I don't see a centrifuge as a hassle. Fill a 55 gal drum, (with a small cent mounted on the lid) flip a switch and go watch a movie. Rule of thumb is a cars oil filter is about 20 microns. Oil filtered through a cent is about 1/2 microns. How about that 5 micron filter lasting 20,000 miles? Cleaner the oil = better flow, better fogging at injectors, less maintainance, better performance, etc., etc., etc., But like Henry said, if someones happy with their process, Great.

cool
not sayin you're right or wrong, and parameters mean everything in this.
If you're happy, I'm happy.
I was just sayin, a centrifuge would do a good job.

Yeah, but a filter would do good enough for less hassle. You could probably
spin a bunch of crap out of diesel fuel straight from the pump but the
engines are made to tolerate a certain amount of crud. Nothing lasts
forever and for me, it's not worth it to try and get an engine to last
forever if the car is going to rust around it anyway. I get 2000 miles out
of a 5 micron filter on wvo that I let sit in a barrel for 30 days.
