Another tid-bit of information I posted at greasecar.com

====================================

Greetings All..........

As you may be aware - I have been doing the gravity fed cold filtering process. The first 30 gallons or so went fine. As I got down to the last 10-15 gallons in the barrel I realized the the speed of the filtering had decreased. My theory is that there is less oil in the barrel - thus there is less pressure, via gravity, to help push the oil through the filter.

Solution!!!!!

I took one of the bung hole screw caps and installed a truck tire valve stem. A bicycle tire pump - about 10-12 pumps of air - and we have increased the flow slightly. I am purposefully NOT overpressurizing the barrel - Just giving it a little bit of help.

Just a little bit of FYI.

From the Shed,
Stephen
