I am triple and quadruple filtering my WVO. Here are the different filter levels I am using.

First: Photo #1 - Coffee filter in strainer over bucket (only if oil is really bad - it removes all the big solid stuff and gunk)

Second: Photo #2 - Baja 3-stage funnel fuel filter (with water-separating third element) filters down to 74 microns - I run the WVO through this filter into a 55-gallon drum from which I pump it through the next 2 stages of filtration via a manual rotary pump (I know it's time to change the filter elements when it gets too hard to turn manually - plus I get a workout pumping the oil!)

Third: Photo #3 - ZEE LINE 10-micron filter

Fourth: Photo #4 - Racor 2-micron filter/water separator

Whole system - Photo #5

So far, so good with this setup - I have no overnight sediment and both the VW and the Benz seem to like it.
