I have yet to figure my total costs so far - but.......
Barrels - Free
Pump - Free
Fittings and Hoses - $20.00
Whole House Filter Canister - Free
Lumber - Free
5 micron string wound filters (via
www.filtersource.com) - $1.60ea - purchased in case lot of 30.
Conversion Cost - Not Yet Calculated (I'm doing Motor Mounts, Trans. Mount, Control Rod Bushings, Etc. - Kit is next)
The longer the oil settles - the fewer filters you go through.
IF (wink) I get 30 gallons per 5 micron filter then it comes out to just over 5 cents per gallon - although 45 gallons is possible - ONLY COLD FILTERED.
This kinda reminds me of the days when I wanted to burn wood for heat. Let's see..... Can you name all the pieces required?? =8^)
