The video was about the actual process. Best to focus when you're cutting on a living thing.

Indeed!

It would be the same as mixing with pump diesel I'd say... and I'd say 50/50. Diesel / biodiesel doesn't thin as well as gasoline and that's the main purpose.

They make kits to convert Becket burners in oil furnaces to run alternative fuels. You'll likely have to clean it more often but it can be done.

@NotSoGrandGarage unfortunately I don't have a becket burner. Bonderus boiler. Which is why I was wondering about blending with my fuel oil

@@petervanguilder6276 not sure to be honest. I'd do some heavy research on it before trying. I'll do some looking and see what I can come up with. Feel free to email me. notsograndgarage@gmail.com

Thanks for watching! If / when you need gear, check the website. www.notsograndgarage.com

Probably so. This shed will be going away and a different setup going up all together here soon.

Thanks!

10 mic is no where near enough.... and those specs are air bubbles. Watch my other content and you'll understand. Thanks for watching.

@@NotSoGrandGarage they sell a black diesel filtration system u can use a gallon drum and install it on it

@@ricardocenteno375 ......again, see my channel. I run a 6k RPM heated centrifuge and filtration .... And have filtration on the truck. I'm a WVO Designs dealer. This is all covered in depth on the channel. You should check it out

The tank? Wrestling a camera and a fuel tank under a little truck isn't fun.

Hyd. Hose is a possibility but many aren't rated for the heat. I've not seen 3/4"+ transmission hose either.

Nice! Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching. Appreciate it!

You are correct. I hadn't thought about it at the time I was making the video but yes there should be roughly 10% less material in the total volume because of the "clean" gasoline added.

Probably the easiest way to find it or the alternator quits charging all together

Oh no... we're well aware of the costs elsewhere... and we're on track to join you if we keep the current path we're on.

Yup. There were some questions on the last short so figured I'd update.

I can't wait to get a nice long video or the processing and seeing how nasty the centerfudge looks after few rounds

@@dakotak8437 check the channel and playlist... Lots of full length indepth content on the subject

Mainly, I just like doing smaller batches as it works for me. Many people do large runs. I've also completely filled the bowl of the centrifuge on a single 50 gallon pass. Never know how dirty the oil really is.

@@NotSoGrandGarage was mostly just curious if theres a big chance of moisture accumulating back into a tote aftet its processed, i need to try and process basically a winters worth of fuel before it gets to -30 but my centrifuge isnt going to show up untill early november.

@@brucebarnes311 oof... Who'd you order from? I'm shipping practically the same day.. have units in stock ready to go. With that said, I wouldn't think it would be a major issue like any other bulk fuel storage.

@@NotSoGrandGarage i went with PA biodiesel single pass version just beacuse it was the cheapest. and honestly because they do inhouse financing lol, but once i placed the order they said they where on back order and i just thought to myself damnit lol

@@brucebarnes311 gotcha. I do have ShopPay installment pay available through the website but that only lets you stretch that out so long so I get it. These things aren't exactly a small investment. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Facts.

I see what you're talking about and I'm pretty certain it came off the end of the nozzle. If you look close at the oil sitting there, it's clean. The particulate comes after I drug the nozzle pulling it out. With that said, there's a 2mic filter on the oil side before the valves and main filter. I'll know soon enough if something is going on as visible particulate would plug that filter rapidly. With that said, it hasn't plugged the filter yet and I've been on that tank for a bit. I'll pull a sample from the batch of oil tonight to verify.

Update.. just drained the water separator which hadn't been opened in months. Going to post another short on it. It isn't particulate but tiny air bubbles. It certainly looks like something in both videos but when touched or poured out on a surface, they disappear. It isn't moisture either... Definitely air. Strange for sure.

Check out my other videos on the subject. The oil is clean for sure... And she's been running on it for over a decade without fail. Follow along for sure!

I have a '96 7.3L Powerstroke that only has 31,000 miles on it. That truck isn't going anywhere.

@@michaelbarrett1914 I've been rebuilding this truck gradually... It's a '90 350 crew cab 4x4 w/ 5 speed. I've got quite a few videos on the project.

Oof bud... That's rough

Dust on the edge of the bed screwing with the camera. Oil is clean for sure... 3 passes at 5gph and 180° in a 6k RPM centrifuge... And a particulate filter on the transfer pump.

You mean the gravel dust it picked up on the way out? Don't need magnets when you run triple passes on a 6k RPM centrifuge.

No glitter... Bunch of gravel dust on the bed playing tricks with the camera.

No sparkles... Dust from the bed screwing with the camera. Triple passed through a 6k RPM centrifuge.

Nice. The ol IDI likes Methanol... Pretty solid power gain

@@NotSoGrandGarage how's the mpg?

Not something I really keep track of. I fill both tanks once a month and typically, the diesel tank is around half by then. I don't have a flow meter on my transfer pump currently.

Thanks!

It was labeled Wix on the filter. Could be a cheaper line I suppose.

@@NotSoGrandGarageyou’re right I didn’t notice that. I would say it’s a cheap knock-off…they didn’t do a good job of copying the Wix labeling.

@@jp-nq5wd I've found a few others on forums and such that got a similar filter in a Wix box on Amazon. Maybe someone got a cheap one online and swapped it for a decent one. Who knows... Been a bit at this point

@@NotSoGrandGarage I agree. Amazon and EBay have had issues with knock-off auto parts over the years. The Car Care Nut did a video a while ago pointing out the differences between genuine and knock-off Toyota filters.

I've seen people cobble together things to do the same so the idea is sound. The only real issue that can come up is the momentum of the fan auto removing itself from the pump on shutdown but if you're adapter bolts to the pump itself, no problems.

It makes a difference for sure.

It was indeed... And came from O'Reilly's. It went back in the box and back to the store. They had several like it. We went through them and found a few US made ones and snagged them.

Thanks!

Sounds like a slick setup. Keep at it!

Good deal. Thanks for watching!

@@MrLikeaboss2012 that should do quite nicely

So what you're saying is I'm accomplishing the same thing for half the price. With that said .. I didn't build this equipment I'm running... and considering the money I've saved over the last 15 years, I'd say I'm far from wasting my time. Most people in this game cringe at the thought of buying new equipment and spending $2500... You think people are going to be happy with dropping double that on used stuff? I can assure you that's a big nope. Those units are also designed for industrial use meaning 3ph power. The average person making fuel at home isn't going to have access to 460v 3ph. I'm not a machinist either so redesigning the bowl isn't in my wheelhouse. Thanks for watching anyways though.

I was hoping it'll make it easier to find exactly what people need help with. Thanks for watching! More to come soon.

Thanks for watching!

I can do that. I run a valve on the bottom of the heater to allow easy draining. I've noticed some water separation in the heater itself so I crack the drain between runs and after a batch is complete, I drain the whole system. With that said, I'll see what I can do.

​@@NotSoGrandGaragefinally getting around to assembling the new extreme system that I bought from you this week. I am glad I saw this video and read this comment. That is a great idea about having a drain at the bottom of the heater. I will look into doing that myself

The 7.3 IDI is just about the most forgiving platform for alternative fuels. I've ran multiple on all sorts of blends and processes over the years. Good luck with everything!

@@NotSoGrandGarage eventually I’ll get a centrifuge, but just not in the cards right now. Trying to get out of debt this year and start saving for a house down payment. Hopefully going through a few filters including a couple additional on the truck will be enough to keep her happy. Thanks for all the info you give!

For sure. I started out with used drums and whole house water filters... it is what it is and yeah a centrifuge is certainly an investment. Keep at it bud.

You will be fine, ever heard of Zip Ties n Bias Plys? That guy just pours his oil changes directly into his 7.3IDI rigs. In fact I have never seen a motor repeatedly take so much aboose. Check it out!

@@datalorian I’ve watched some of his stuff. He doesn’t care if his explodes, I do. But you’re right. These motors will take a lot of abuse. So filtered motor oil should be just fine.

I've not had solid success with the Cummins yet. Still get injector coking from time to time and it isn't on daily driver status so it doesn't get messed with nearly as much as I'd like.

Thanks for watching. More to come!

Thanks bud.

@@NotSoGrandGarage This kind of video series will bring viewers and subscribers.... Thanks for putting in the effort to make these UA-cam videos!

That's the goal. The more information out there... tor more involved... the more we learn from each other.

My buddy ran my mix through his 97 power stroke and had zero issues. Thing to watch out for, your fuel filters. That truck is coming up on thirty years old, probably ran nothing but pump fuel. The detergents in the oil will break down those deposits and plug your filter solid. It’s not the black diesel itself that will plug your filters, it’s the decades of junk that it’s scrubbing out of your fuel system. I run mine in a 94 idiT F250 and I’ve never had any issues. As for the tdi VW, I’m not sure. If it’s high pressure common rail I’d say hard no but I’ve yet to experiment with it through a modern diesel engine. I’m in the process of refining my setup but as of right now, Chris has a setup better suited to filter for new engines than mine.

The powerstroke is a solid platform for alternative fuels. There are even a few outfits producing tunes for oil. The ALH has been known to do well also. How you setup the systems and how you process the oil will make the difference.

How much oil in that 97 ford mix?​@adrienst.raymond6801

a friend of mine ran an early 2000s powerstroke on filtered waste atf for 5 or so years without issue.

You probably could... just attach it before the through wall adapter. With that said, I'd also suggest keeping straight diesel in them. Had issues within a week.

@NotSoGrandGarage Thanks! And yes, I see other comments elsewhere about burning waste oil, veg oils, etc and how it's not very good for the heaters.

?

Facts.

Was bought at oreillys... and the filter is mounted horizontal in this application... but anyways.
