[QUOTE="rsr911, post: 4009, member: 452"] There would only be residual gas in the oil that I heat as in blow by gas from car engines. I agree that no amount of settling seems to get emulsified water out completely. I have found however that a semi truck water separator will eventually get it out but it takes many passes. I have also found that a true quality diesel fuel filter will plug much faster than a similar sized absolute rated cartridge for a WF housing and they cannot take much pressure without blowing by the end seals. I rearranged some stuff tonight and ran my new Baldwin diesel fuel filter. At first I had two 10" 5 micron stringwounds in series as always followed by a 20" absolute rated cartridge with some "miles" on it (about 250 gallons) then the Baldwin. Even with a gear pump I would only get spurts of fuel out of the hose. I took the Baldwin out of the loop and same deal, so the large absolute was mostly clogged. Since I know the Baldwin can take some pressure I moved it to the pressure side, pulled the 20" out and put another 5 micron stringwound in place and started pumping. I plugged the Baldwin at about 35 gallons! Shut the motor right down which is good I suppose. Popped another Baldwin cartridge in and throttled back the pump and ran the rest of the oil. I was not recirculating like I normally do through the stringwounds. I also did not settle after adding the RUG. I was really trying to test filter efficiency and what I think I found is that my stringwound filters are not fine enough. Back when I did WVO I used to use 1 micron stringwound filters, two in series. I think I'll go back to doing that but have three, one in each housing. I'll move the 20" to the output of my finished storage tank as a safety precaution. I'll leave the Baldwin on the pressure side of the pump since it is pressure rated. I've noticed that I rarely plug an onboard Azone filter but if I put a Baldwin on there in will plug relatively quickly. That's what started me down the Baldwin filter path for my process. After talking with the Baldwin rep the filter I ordered for my process is what he felt would be a good compliment to my on board filters (assuming Baldwin brand). Since I can get Baldwin's wholesale through a friend this makes the most sense for my filtration. Later I plan to put new seals in my Racor 1000FG water separator housing. It must be run on the suction side and will take Baldwin or Racor 5,10, or 20 micron absolute cartridges. I'm hoping my pump has enough guts to pull through a 5 micron filter in it and push through the other Baldwin. When I do that I'll use the stringwounds for recirc only and the good filters for pumping into storage or the truck. [/QUOTE]
