Centrifuge
Thanks, don't worry about measuring the rotor. I am getting some really nasty oil from a mexican restaurant and I thought about a cetrifuge to clean it, but it has too much flour and other stuff in it. It would fill that centrifuge in short order. I think my best bet will be to stop getting their oil.
I also had some good luck the other night with a process I read about in the alternative fuels section. I had some oil that titrated about 10, so I put in about 10% of glycerine from previous settling, heated to 120, circulated it about an hour, and let it settle out. It brought out a bunch of crud and lowered the titration to about 8.2. Next time I am going to try 20% and see what happens.
Are you having luck finding oil yet?
Thanks

I have been getting some luck find oil but I keep getting small sources. I am waiting for that one 30-50 gallons a week source and I will be set.

It does take time to get sources. I sent my girlfriend around, she's cute and gets more attention. I also found a friend who got me a Montana's restaurant last week. I am going to put in a 200 gallon tank there. The use enough that they are thinking about buying bulk.
I have also been building bulk drop tanks out of old propane tanks. They work great and you can often find them pretty cheap. In fact i "stold" one from the local dump last weekend.
Good luck, it's fun isn't it?
