Hi there,
Boy, when you only have 1 day off per week and only home that one day, and having to do a bedroom remodel at the same time..... it makes getting things done very slow....
Well I did the mixing with the processor.....Good results on the mixing, the pumps mixed and the oil got thinner...etc...
Ran the filters in bypass for mixing and then opened the valves for filtering...
**!! Now I have to say that I have a bulk of Waste oil from a place that collects from restarants....ALL OIL...even the shortning...Maybe 20% a guy says... So I need to thin more for that and try to filter it cold....
Since I live in the cold climate, I decided to thin my "straight" mix....
I did
25 gallons oil strained through a collander
15% kerosene
10% diesel
5% gas
19 OZ of the Power service Cetane boost
and 4.5 Oz. of the DSE Ingredient
Now I did some temp testing in some small jars....
Straight mix
50/50 of DSE and diesel
50/50 and added some concentrated anti-gel (Antigel is from "Filta-Kleen" super concentrate)
80/20 of DSE and diesel....
All mixes did good in the freezer a 0 degrees.....(Didn't do the straight mix in freezer..knew it would freeze)....all others remained fairly liquid....BUT, both 50/50's had a white gunk on the bottom...Hard on the bottom..no shaking to mix it....might be the shortning or water freezing....
The BEST result...is the 80/20 in the freezer, it remained liquid, honey color, fairly clear but not as good as BIO.... but Good....But actually, if you see my main STRAIGHT mix, it has diesel in it....so it might be about 90/10....
The 50/50 with anti-gel was put in the fridge at 37 degrees and the stuff on the bottom loosened and on one shake, mixed good....
Room temp STRAIGHT MIX in the garage did not separate, and still looks good after a week of sitting....
SO! I did the filtering .....maybe not enough time....I was rushed.... and I have to filter it some more....then I will mix about 80/20 in my truck... was 30 degrees outside this morning so winter is almost here.....
Anyway, thats where I am at right now...we will see what happens later....when I run in the truck, I will post results...
