Just to clarify, I'm looking for a fuel filter/water seperator to replace the stock filter on the dino fuel system. Thanks for the feedback on the goldenrods, they don't seem to be the way to go. jcwhitney has what I need I think for about $50, I'll look into it more. This is after spending well over an hour at the counter at napa with a guy that just ignored me when I suggested he might get some help instead of flipping through the books and ignoring my helpful hints as to what he might be looking for.
I'm little frustrated after driving through heavy traffic and after that just spending another 3 hours waiting for firestone to release my van with the alignment worse than before I paid them $160 to fix it. I got my money back and it's another story that I may just post in the right forum for some technical and moral support. The world has changed, hard to find people that know their work.
I recently bought 3 household sediment water filters for $17 ea, at home depot. My friend told me he saw them for that price but I did not see them at the store I went to so he picked them up for me, I have a 30 micron in one and a 5-15 in the next and then a 1-5 I'm able to "cold" filter, It's close to 80 these days and my workshop is a metal container so it get's a lot hotter in there, but I did gravity filter 5 gals over night and it worked. I broke my plsstic drill pump from northern tool that I thought was the shiznet by forcing 20 gallons of cold oil through my 3 filter canisters. It's still a great pump with no restriction I think but mine is now dead /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I have some 5 and 1 micron bag filters coming from filterbags.com ? and I bought a water seperating fuel funnel from west marine for about $30. It's about a gallon capacity and balances nicely in the neck of 5 gallon jugs. It says it is 149 microns. I wonder if wvo can be dewatered with this. It's designed for other fuels with water in and I just don't know about the make up of water mixed with cooking oil.
plantdrive.com has a wand pick up for oil for $125 It comes with cleanable mesh filters. One 70 microns and one 150. They advocate pumpimng straight into your tank after settling but on the road without settling even and letting the vormax filter fo the rest. Craig at neoteric/plantdrive told me he's getting 6000 miles between element changes in his mercedes this way. I'm going to get one of the wands but still bag filter down to 1 micron.
