Well, I can't get a grab on her fishnets...

Here is a good idea for stage 2....Stage 1 could be through a bed sheet; a t shirt or similar cloth...supported by chickenwire; over a barrell or big pail...
One Mcmaster Carr 5 micron bag filter (this one on left;
http://www.mcmaster.com/ ) * I see it didn't come up but it's a stock # 9311T21. *
One 40 gallon plastic trash pail; New but unused in last 5 years...
I traced the lip size of the filter on the center of the lid and cut out the circle. Didn't even have to seal it beacuse it fit so well !
Turn the lid upside down and it holds exactly 5 gallons of UCO/WVO and filters through in 10-12 minutes
This is my 2nd stage for filtering and blending in this pail, which I pump directly into the tank. 1st stage is into 55 galllon drum through folded bed sheet, held up by chickenwire. Got this pail no cost, from asking at a car wash. Was used Armour All drum.[/QUOTE]
