Just started collecting WVO for my near future conversion. I got 15 gallons yesterday and should have about 55 gallons in Quad cities when I get back.. I tried straining it through a screen in a funnel I bought but was way too time consuming. I poured the WVO back into original containers for eazier transport. I need to come up with a better way to do the initial filtering. The tanks I'm buying have about a 6 inch lid that I could fab a screen to fit which will help some. If I had a home base in which I could do this it would be easier and more convenient. I can also buy prefiltered oil for $1.00 a gallon.
