Great run down. Thank for the effort of putting the video together. The tips and tricks really help.

I work with used oils and fuels for a living and here is some helpful info on how to separate water from hydrocarbon fluids in general. There is an odd quirk of physics with most common liquid hydrocarbons as they are heated they drop any suspended aqueous solutions (water antifreeze and the like) out of them. The rough ratio is 1 gallon per degree F rise per 10,000 gallons. That is to say that if you had 10,000 gallons of used oil and raised its temperature by 50 degrees you would get about 50 gallons of suspended water out of it.

The centrifuge idea came to me when I had a grease car. I discovered something cool, that you can add to your list of useless information you know too. Isetta cars had a centrifugal oil filter/cleaner.

I also thought it would be good to try and do a magnetic coupling, so there would never be a leak issue at the motor shaft.

@@henmich It's certainly a possibility. We've had clients use the Ultimate Force for removing sediments from alkaline solutions before. If you have time and a welder, some folks have used a torque converter - gotta be careful though and make sure it's balanced.

A simple and cheap way to do ultra-fine (~1 micron ) physical filtering is to buy a stainless steel house filter body online and just use regular poly-based home water filters in it. The materials most filters are made of have moderate to high compatibility ratings with common oils and diesel/kerosine/jet fuels. With proper pre-treatment to settle out the solids and water a cheap $3 - $4 1 micron rated 2" x 10" home water filter cartridge can easily do 100+ gallons of used oil.

We'll be doing a video pumping oil through a 1 micron bag filter, and then running it through a centrifuge. May do lab results as well.....

I wonder if some of that sludge is the "additive package" that is added to the base oil, to give it multi-viscosity properties. It is still good to remove it, but by removing it, it is most definitely no longer 'motor oil'. It is probably something closer to hydraulic oil? I read a lot of guys talking about synthetic oil is not optimum to use as black diesel but if the additives are removed, maybe then it no longer resists burning? I don't know. Just thinking out loud here :D

In our experience (And hundreds of customers) synthetic oil is not a problem to burn. Its all going to be mixed into conventional oil anyways at a shop into one container. Now, some hydraulic oil is heat resistant.....something to watch out for but its pretty rare to come across that stuff. Now those additives in the oil during combustion - I've never heard of it being a concern. I do know that ATF has additves, and its actually an old timers trick to add it to your fuel tank to clean the fuel system and injectors off. I've run my 7.3 on 90% straight ATF (Plus the 10% diesel I had in the fuel tank to being with) and it cleaned up my injection pump and injectors really well....

I may be missing something here, does the volume above the cone fill with centrifuged oil before it starts to come out the three curved slots?

@@PABioSupply Thank you, I watched a couple more times and now realize your explanation of the inner bowl being quite full. The heavy sludge stays pinned against the outside and the thinner cleaner oil "floats" until it spills out the slots.
