Hello Matt I have used a under the sink type water filter for experimental purposes. it has a 1" fitting on both sides. I used a 2 micron carbon filter element for the micron size only. the string filter was 20 micron. I put freshly processed and washed cloudy bio in and got crystal clear fuel out. I have no idea what the carbon does to the mix pros or cons. maybe some one on the list has some insight. Good luck Derick.

If you make your biodiesel properly, everything that a filter might remove will be in the by-product layer, not the biodiesel. So settle it properly, separate it carefully, and use it. No need to filter it. No need to filter the oil first either, as these two previous posts show: http://snipurl.com/1j20b Re: [Biofuel] Filtering - was Re: Vegtable oil sources... http://snipurl.com/1j20c Re: [Biofuel] Filtering - was Re: Vegtable oil sources...
