"I have been using your Greasebeast filtering system with the 3.5 GPM pump for about one month now. The system has worked flawlessly and sure beats pouring filthy waste oil into a giant sock, spilling half of it all over my garage floor!" 

"What used to take 4 hours now takes less than 30 minutes. Your product is the best game in town and has been a lifesaver. I am even inspired to convert my house furnace to WVO as well as my car! Keep up the great work as I will be ordering from you once again in the near future."  

"I am loving that pump! I set it up ...the Greasebeast started immediately pumping oil into my old Mercedes. WOW! I've filtered 20 gallons so far this week. It goes so much faster than those sock filters, and I don't spill oil! I'm so glad I found your product -- it's great."

FAQ
Frequently Answered Questions

Clean Oil is Free Fuel?

Liberate your tailpipe and your wallet from dirty and expensive fuels. Save time, money, and patience with inline filtration. Tens of thousands of gallons of vegetable oil have been filtered into fuel using these filters. After trying it the hard way - gravity filtration with a sock filter - you may come to appreciate inline filtration.

Will this Pump Vegetable Oil?

Be aware that many pumps just can not do this job well. Most pumps are full of plastic parts that melt when they are overworked by a thicker liquid. For this reason Gear Oil and Heavy Duty pumps are the best choices. Read the GreaseBeast Filtration Guide to understand more about collecting grease for fuel. This pump will perform best when the vegetable oil is fluid.     

Particle Filters?

All Filter Rods are individually sealed for protection, labeled by micron rating, and Guaranteed for quality. GreaseBeast Filter life depends on the quality of oil that you are filtering. Each lasts between 15-75 gallons; for us it usually averages about 60. Choose your VegOil well to extend their use the longest. A micron is a thousandths of an inch. Fuel filters in most vehicles are typically 5 or 10 micron. These veg oil filters are nominally rated, so catch 95% of particles. Passing the oil through 2 filters takes care of most of this, and your onboard vegetable oil fuel system filter will catch any particles that make it past.

Oil Source?

Finding free fuel is an exciting prospect, and it is a skill that anyone can learn. There is bit of a learning curve, but as any veggie enthusiast will tell you - research first, try it out, be persistent, and you ll be able to spot and filter good veggie like a pro! Generally Asian buffet places are golden. Read about where to look and how to ask for it in the Filtration Guide, and watch a video showing an oil hunt.

Filtering in Winter?

Oil filters best when it is thin. When it is cooler or cold out the oil becomes thicker which makes filters unnecessarily clog quicker and pumps work too hard. To mitigate this collect during the day when the sun has the opportunity to warm the container, or use a "bucket heater" to warm the oil up first.
 

Water in Oil?

    
Place a Waterblocker filter inline in your fuel transfer setup to remove water. It will plug when it is full of water. Also removes particles at 15 microns and works with gasoline or diesel fuel. It makes sense to have this be the last filter for oil to pass through so that particles have already been removed and the waterblocking capability lasts longest. 

Take care when collecting waste vegetable oil as it may contain water, which should not be in the fuel system of your vehicle. All water may not be removed by these filters alone. There are two types of water in oil: free and suspended. Free water is that which is not mixed thoroughly into the VegOil. The Goldenrod Waterblocker Filter will capture this type of water very well, and will clog when it is full - disallowing any fluids to pass. 
     
Suspended water, which occurs when water is mixed in thoroughly with the vegoil, may make its way through a waterblocker element. This oil should be avoided if you are on the go, as settling and heating must be applied to remove this type of water. Starting with good oil is your best protection against water. For a complete discussion on this topic, read the Filtration Guide, for free online or with any purchase.

         
Converting a Diesel to SVO?

Vegetable Oil as Fuel works best in a fully converted diesel. Find full Diesel Conversion Kits for Cars, Trucks, Semis, and more.

 

 

 "the Diesel engine can be fed vegetable oils which 
may become in the course of time as important as petroleum"
 
-Rudolf Diesel, Diesel Engine Inventor, 1911

Handling Oil?

Vegetable Oil can be very sticky on any surface it comes in contact with. It will stain clothing and fabric, as well as garages, driveways, and wood. Be aware of this when filtering as minor precautions can save you alot of mess. For instance, wear gloves, wait for drips to fall before moving hoses, and put down cardboard or a plastic sheet around an area that you use to filter - or choose an area that is okay to get messy, or can be power-washed to be cleaned. Throwing on a jumpsuit or wearing clothes that can get dirty is a good precaution. Read more in the WVO Filtration Guide.
