Jim:
I would respectfully disagree that the centrifuge will not help.
I just did a test, using a barrel of oil that had sat over a year, and our
summer temps can get over 100 deg.
It still pulled water, metal, and carbon, out of the mix. And this, at a
constant feed rate of approx. 8GHP.
Those can be suspended, even as a colloid, and perhaps "never" (tough term)
settle out.
But, the centrifuge did remove a pretty fair quantity of stuff. I pulled the
samples from above the bottom of the barrel.
I'd think, yes, it is another form of "acceleration/gravity" but, at the
high values that exist, (mine is 1200 times G), it can separate things that
would not, or would probably take "years", to separate.
Just my results, and thoughts.

I think wvo aged a year or so is great. Just take what's on top and get rid
of the dregs (responsibly). I don't think you'd get any more junk out of it
by using a centrifuge. A centrifuge is just another form of acceleration,
which is same as gravity...I'd say a year of good old fashioned gravity is
as better than 30 minutes in a centrifuge. When I get old wvo in plastic
containers such as "cubies," I position the containers over a barrel and cut
through the cubie plastic a half inch above the sediment. The good oil will
flow out and the sediment will remain in the bottom of the plastic
container.

This group provides a forum for owners and operators of diesel powered motorhomes and 5th wheel tractors to discuss mechanical issues, regulatory issues (US, Canada), ownership, insurance, campground accommodations, trip reports/suggestions, and other topics relevant to large RVs and the people who drive them.
