Title: Collecting WVO
Post by: captain ron on August 27, 2007, 12:47:31 PM
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.

And with both BK and Dallas there, I think you would be in great hands.
