The latest update to the filtering system is shown here. The reason for the update is that when the weather cooled down a bit, the VO would no longer flow through the filter.

I added a water-heater element in the side of my barrel so I can heat 40 gallons of dirty VO up to 110 degrees or so in 30-40 minutes. At that temperature, it flows through the filter like water. But I didn't like the idea of heating up 40-50 gallons of dirty VO just to pump 10-12 gallons into the car.

So I got another barrel and set it up on the stand that you see here. Now I can heat a batch up, filter it all into the upper barrel, then gravity feed it from that barrel into the car as needed.
