OK yes, 0.5 is still v fine - 10X finer than the finest I've heard recom'd before this. I am getting oil from a fish restaurant which is much better than most UVO.

Maybe it would go through a 0.5 mc filter bag OK - do you know where you can get those or what material could be used as a strainer bag?

Currently I use greasecar bags which i think are 10 mc but not sure - mgiht be 5 mc. Sounds likely that Elsbett have done a lot of research to base this recommendation on.

EDIT: just checked greasecar.com and they have a few different bag fliters. they have 2 1 mcm filters - one o fhtem is a 2 stage bag, inner at 5 mc and outer at 1 mc. That sounds quite good.

No, unfortunately DieselAddict no parts of this system are available A La Cart. It is expensive - but they've got a great warranty. I'm sure you can call them, and they always respond via e-mail. I use an electronic filtration system and let gravity work some magic as well. THe filter bags I've used are dual layer.

 

I looked - the 0.5mc polyester bag is $15 + shipping - not too bad and hopefully polyester lasts a long time. I could fit my 5 mc greasecar bags inside it. But the 1mc polyester bags are just $4, and would still be pretty good I think. Shipping seems reasonable, about $6 for 3 or 4 bags.
Waht i'd like to get is just the filter cloth. Should be a lot cheaper than bags, and would work better - eg could clamp it around a pipe so the filtration is completely enclosed, don't have to worry about overflow. this would also allow increased pressure, eg by raising the height of the supply.
