I’ve been online and read about the two most used methods (mist and bubbling); I didn’t know that your setup was all homemade; pretty good.
Phil Valentine’s all worked up about his processing unit, even built a shed for it; just went on vacation for a week so he’s off the air until next week.
It’s like listening to a kid with a new toy to hear him go on about this thing.
He’s also got a guy trying to make the HHO gadjet work on his Lexus but the onboard computer is fighting it tooth and nail, still fun to listen to him talk about it.
We do seem to have become slaves to our motorized beats of burden, don’t we?
Thanks for the info.
beats??!! Could be Freudian...
In that $500, I also built a collection vessel, a 42 gallon water tank with a refrigerator compressor pulling a vacuum on it. I have a 1”x10ft clear flex suction hose valved at the tank bottom and hose end to which I have a 3/4”x42” PVC “wand”. I can pull a vacuum on the tank in 45-60 minutes and it'll drain a 5 gallon bucket of oil in 20-25 seconds, do 35 gallons in a bit over 3 minutes. To the restaurant, into my bin, fill the “SuperSucker”, and I'm out and gone in five to seven minutes. I get home, reverse it to a pressure tank, pump it up with compressed air, and blow the oil through a strainer and into the storage tank to settle.
These things are nice, provided you secure your raw oil sources beforehand. They can consume a lot of time if you're into the chemical and mechanical process. I enjoy it, but I'd rather spend the same amount of time producing one batch of 50-60 gallons than 20.
