what is acceptable for running the oil as fuel?
i should say what amount of bubble will plug my filter?
its discouraging because i have run all the oil i was going to use for the trip through the centrifuge for @least 2 hours a 30 gal. batch (30 gallon barrel set up), and still water?!!!
ahhhh yep temps before FPHE does not show the needed info in this situation. Sounds like he might need something to add heat just before the filter like a small FPHE, homemade HE, or a heater wrap on the filter, or go with TIH?SunWizard wrote:coachgeo wrote:Maybe you posted at the same time so you didnt see that he shows 140-160deg temps of his WVO by his fuel temp gauge.
That temp is after the FPHE. ....

was meaning coolant heater wrap ALA dana linscott or simular. Would think that would be enough since it is not alone but in addition to HOH.SunWizard wrote:coachgeo wrote:.. or a heater wrap on the filter...
Way too little heat from those.

once there is water in the filter it would remain absorbed in the element right?
just to make sure we are on the same page... my point of the filter wrap is only to supplement the rise in heat his HOH is already providing. Your right there is no way it will heat a filter of cold veg that is getting no heat at all. Just wondering if that addional little amount ontop of the HOH would be enough to get thru his filter to the FPHE.SunWizard wrote:....Coolant wraps provide only a tiny amount of heat, I have tested them and reported in this thread and others:....
(SunWizard wrote:... filter after the FPHE isn't a good option, since that means you are running on cold VO from the filter for the critical first 5 miles after switchover.
