|  got me first 40 litres of USED veg oil sorted!......it was from the shop i went to the other week and i`v been waiting for containers and other bits to go get some. i thought he might of changed his mind when i got there so i was crappin it a bit but he was all smiles.... bless him lol...he even told me to come back once a week so im chuffed to bits. right .... on the other hand.... i got covered in the stuff and it stinks... i deffo need a transfare pump as his stuff is pretty bit free and its gotta be better than scooping the gunk out of a deep barrel(god i cant wait for the winter to comelol) so it looks like some kind of pump thing for me. next step is the filtering set up. i`v got 2 loft header tanks for storage and im going to do it indoors in a converted toilet room that has its own window. im going to go down the denim sock filter for starters and then maybe onto a 5mic sock filter as a final. am i better off filtering to 5mic first then letting it settle , or would i be better with the denim first and then settle, then 5mic?? i can seriously see me building some kind of vacuum to suck the stuff out directly into a container in the van.... something like a 40 litre drum and a 12v vacuum or 3,(you know them cheap yellow 12v vacs you get from halfords and the such), or i`v got a genny that i can hook up to an old henry hoover i have and that shuld work..............god look at me.. iv got 40ltrs of uvo and im going mad  ..anyway i`l keep you posted on what goes off next! found a pump already...12v Bio Diesel Transfer Pump Vegetable oil plant waste on eBay, also, Hand Tools, Garage Equipment Tools, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 20-Jul-08 15:56:45 BST) let me know what ya think?

| Hello mate... Ive found once all the chicken nuggets fish bits and breadcrumbs are out of the way, settling the stuff is enough for me.. I just us tights doubled over the end of a large syphon pump to extract the good stuff from the top of the custardy bit  | ||||||||

| I filter, settle then fine filter into a container, add petrol, then leave a week. About two weeks start to finish, I know Clive likes to leave for about 5 time that. I might fine filter once more before adding to the tank.
