Question New Idea?

Ok guys, I've been kicking an idea around for awhile and thought I'd post it here and see what you thought. Everyone has the same problem of cleaning the used oil, wether you are useing WVO or making Biodiesel, so.....What about taking an old washing machine and taking the top off, remove the center agitator, fabricate a gasketed "lid" out of sheetmetal with a hole about 12" in the center. Lock the transmission in spin, put a plastic bag as a liner in it to plug the holes in the drum, turn it on and presto! instant centrifuge.

The "heavys" should be forced to the outside of the drum, and the "cleaned" oil should flow out the center hole and into the outer drum where the built-in pump could pump it into the heating tank for Bio, or into the storage tank for those that are using WVO. When you are done cleaning your oil just remove the plastic bag with all the Junk in it, and it's ready to go again. So..............What do you guys think?
