There is not a secret that many back-yard researchers are trying to build a system that would successfully process waste motor oil into proper usable diesel fuel. Many of them had created a machine of some sort. That could be capable of some diesel-like fuel that, in many cases of questionable quality.

 

 Not many will risk filling a fuel tank of a modern car with this kind of fuel, and as a result, in most cases, this fuel is entirely for old prehistoric stationary engines that do not care about the sort of fuel they are working on.

 

On the other hand, many people – “black diesel 

users” - try (some claim success) to process the used motor oil through the sets of filters. Add some “secret” ingredients, mix with regular diesel fuel in some proportions, and use it as conventional diesel fuel.

Anyway, while people are searching for a method that will significantly lower their fuel expenses, some problems involve using such fuel. In some countries, strict rules are in place that would not allow using these kinds of processed fuels, especially black diesel; some engines won’t tolerate these fuels. And despite the simple usage of the “Black diesel,” one will need expensive equipment; the back-yard oil refining machines, in most cases, are massive. Constructions may be appropriate for someone who lives on farmland – not everyone.

 

Thus the fuel that was produced out of the waste oil must be clear and transparent. The machine should be as small as possible, with low maintenance, and capable of relatively good processing volumes. The supporting equipment with fuel treatment options must be as simple as possible yet, give the best possible results. Moreover, anyone interested in home fuel production whose hands are growing from the correct place should replicate the oil processing machine in a simple garage environment.

Sorry for the long introduction. Here I would like to introduce a new continuous distillation machine - The continuous WMO distiller.

 WMO distillation machine that is easy to work with, small and mobile, low maintenance, yet capable of good quality diesel fuel.
The machine is relatively safe compared to giant monsters where people are trying to boil gallons and gallons of motor oil at once - and no one wants to be next to a scorching system filled with hundreds of liters of overheated oil.

 During distillation, the processing oil is stored in a separate container, and processing oil is continuously pumped into the reactor of the distiller. Simultaneously, the resulting fuel and waste can also be evacuated from the distiller into the containers via the pipes far enough from the still. Thus the system at any present time processing just a fraction of the used oil, only about 2.5 - 3L (less than one gallon), and while all safety measures must be in place, the 3L of boiling oil is not 300L and even not 10L. The continuous distiller design eliminates overpressure - the reactor has a bypass. As a result, all the reactions happen at atmospheric pressure, while no oxygen can get into the system.

Now let’s list the materials this machine can process into diesel fuel: Motor oils – mineral and synthetic, automatic transmission oil of any kind, industrial mineral oils, transformer oil, hydraulic mineral oils, and mixes of any listed above.

The distiller can bleach dark diesel fuels and “red diesel.”
Currently, I am putting together a construction manual for a continuous distiller. That will help you to build a real continuous waste motor oil distiller that would be capable of continuously processing used automotive and industrial oils into usable and clean diesel fuel at rates of up to 10L per hour. Moreover, a continuous distiller can bleach dark and dirty diesel-based fuel and remove the dye from the dyed diesel fuel at up to 15L per hour. Thus practically supplying the owner with almost free fuel for a diesel car, diesel generator, diesel heater (burner), or agricultural machinery on your farm. All you need to do is find a supply of used engine oil that some mechanics need help getting rid of.

Thus you will own your crude oil processing mini-factory that will pay for itself in no time. Now, let’s do some calculation – the cost of the manual is yet the US $100.00 

 if second-hand metal from the scrap yard is using, then it could be bought from $20.00 up to $50.00

The cost of 1L of the diesel fuel in in some placec is up to $3.00,  Thus if you use only 20L of diesel fuel per week – you’ll spend up to $3120.00 

 And this is a less likely possible minimum; in reality, the overage car owner will double these figures at least, I am not talking about farm machinery and other possible equipment like backup power generators, water pumps, boats and so on – name it.

And at the same time, many of us can find a good source of some used automotive 

oil – motor oil, automatic transmission oil, hydraulic oil at the cost of 

asking, and some mechanics will be happy to get rid of it. Or maybe you are a 

motor mechanic or own a car scrap/removal business and thinking about 

improving your business output. Instead of having trouble disposing of your 

collected sump oil – you may turn it into usable fuel to run your yard 

machinery, diesel heaters, and backup generators. 


 The distillery is a low-maintenance continuous oil distillation machine that is not a pyrolysis machine. If correctly used, this distiller is capable of good quality fuel that will not be prone to oxidation, will not smell horribly like pyrolysis fuel, and will ensure standard engine work.


Anyway, even at the lowest diesel fuel prices, this machine will pay for itself in no time at an overage production rate of 10L per hour. It will save you at least $10.00 per hour worth of fuel – remember, the crude oil prices are climbing up again, so they’ll pull the cost of fuel as well!!!

 The machine described in this manual is simple and relatively easy to build by any person who can work with sheet metal and weld a bit. The manual contains all the necessary information to replicate the distiller described in these construction plans. 

 

The plans are loaded with heaps of step-by-step pictures of the real working still construction, “how to run” and “treatment plant” videos, and some info about how to treat the homemade diesel with absorbent. The distillery is a simple continuous system. Despite the simplicity, it gives excellent results while bleaching colored diesel-based fuels, including red diesel fuel. Thus the color can be removed by distillation. This process allows for avoiding unpleasant sulfuric acid and triethanolamine bleaching procedures. The machine can also process pyrolysis liquids and petroleum gas condensates, and process used automotive and industrial mineral and synthetic oils into usable diesel fuel.
I will be happy to answer all your questions regarding the continuous oil distiller.
