Message: [QUOTE="rsr911, post: 22946, member: 452"] BTW I'm pulling through the string wounds and pushing the Baldwin. I can pull through the Baldwin but it really slows things down and it can take about 50psi IIRC. My process is to add 10% RUG to all incoming oil and put it in my storage tank. I don't do the full 15% incase I don't need that much, this way I can always add more. Next the oil runs through my upflow at about 1-1.5 gallons per hour. Once it's all in the mix tank I add 5% (or so) RUG then recirculate for 1-3 hours pulling through the string wounds. I've got a vacuum gauge so I can tell the filter condition. For about $3 per filter I replace the string wounds pretty regular, about every 100-200 gallons. String wounds aren't real efficient at removing dirt so I put them in series and run multiple passes, this seems to clean the fuel up enough to then run through my spin on and into storage or my truck. Some would argue that the upflow is not needed but I get crud out of it every time I drain it so it's at least helping my filter life if nothing else. 99% of the water falls out in the storage tank since I already have some RUG blended into it. The bottom of my mix barrel is clean. Before I used to at the RUG after the upflow and the mix barrel always had some sludge in the bottom. I prefer to use gravity rather than filters to remove crud. This way my filters only have to catch the stuff still in suspension. [/QUOTE]
