lucky dawg.. I get mine from 3 small restaurants... doing them a favour, rather than having them pay for the disposal.. I end up getting about 160l every 3-4 weeks..

biodiesel bob.

can sump oil be used instead.....?
there is plenty of this available at the workshops all over the place.....
they would rather give it away than pay to have it taken away......

just think of all the metal and grudge in sump oil not for me thanks
and the metal filings would be very fine
would you put second hand oil in your sump

its not going in the sump.......
its being refined and filtered into diesel.......and its a dino oil....
can it be done as easily with sump oil.......?



once its filtered it cant do any damage....and once its refined its a new product......

i know what your saying about fitering the oil but the metal shavings can be very fine and i wound,nt want that going thru my pump and injectors
and i would imagine if it was possible it would be known unless its one of those best kept secrets

Racor, who make the best fuel filter/separators on the market, provide a range of large scale filter/separator units for fleets etc. so their waste oil can be cleansed and metered into a bulk fuel installation. The metering rate can be adjusted by the operator. This equipment has been around for more than thirty years to my knowledge. Remember, distillate is just a light oil with rust inhibitors, and other additives, some of which vary with the seasons and geographical locations.
