Never mind my question, I found the answer on your site. Check out http://www.xyzworks.com/centrifuge.htm
fasciating approach to filtering oil, and would probably allow you to take oil you would normally have to pass up.

Can you tell me more technical details on how you are filtering your oil. Do you us a centrifuge? How are you getting any water out? How much do you spend on filters. We are planning on doing a similiar family trip and run our excursion on veggie.

I am planning on making a small filtering station using a dieselcraft centrifuge.

Does your onboard filter system have a heater and centrifuge or does it just use filters? Do you pan test the grease for water before collecting it?

Jas…it’s a custom on-board gathering/filtration system installed by Golden Fuel Systems (www.goldenfuelsystems.com)

What are you using to get the oil out of the barrel?

Hey, when you hit Massachusetts you can go to all the fish and chip places. It is a Friday tradition and the good places change their oil all the time.

The Toot Toot! I’m pretty sure that’s the place my college roomies future in-laws owned and where I first ever officially learned to country dance. Did it have a bar upstairs and restaurant down? Of course that was, gulp, 15 years ago.

This sounds interesting, do you have any idea how many people could really be out there looking for grease? Is there a limit on how many people can make like you do?

Dang…900 miles on one tank? I’m jealous.
We’ve got a Dodge Ram 2500 that we’re trying to run biodiesel in where we can find it out West, but stations are few and far between out here. Seems like finding straight grease would be so much easier! Keep up the great work, we’re cheering you on over here.

Sounds like a lot of fun. Can’t wait to get out of the Army and have the freedom to tour around the country.

If you are ever in Central NC e-mail me and stop on by (bout an hour south of Raleigh). I usually have 55 gallons cleaned and ready to go in the garage.

Good luck and I’ll be checking up on your adventure through out the year.
