OK, I am working on making a washing machine centrafuge... I have everything figured out but am having a bit of problem keeping the plastic liner to stay up.

Any ideas of something easy or much more smart than what I'm doing...

Thanks

The bolt on upper lid [with the feed hole in it] clamps the liner to the drum. Mines almost done, will try and post pics by the end of the week.

Good! I'm set back a couple of days...............Got mine finished and found out the transmission is shot...........won't spin! Should of checked it first, but the guy said it worked.....................Picked up another today, and yes I checked it first! Works, but it's just different enough that I'll have to change some stuff. Damn, I was sooooooo close.

So if I build this thing all I would need to do is pump in the WVO and pump out the good stuff into a holding tank and then its ready to go in my truck?

Only if your using a heated WVO system. I'm using it to pre-clean the waste oil BEFORE I make Biodiesel with it.

Well, Ya'll did better than me, I never even started mine, if you read back to the previous page it says under me " I will start tomorrow" ha ha, yea right! I got the old washer, and its still sitting there. one and half years later. Its funny this thread came back though, b/c we were just talking about building this 3 or 4 days ago, we were discussing whether it would remove water or not. I think it will, thats how those big navy ships remove water from diesel fuel.
