I think you can either pump feed it or gravity filter.

Bear in mind that it will probably be an ion-exchange tower rather than woodshaving drywash, so any soap will be converted back to free fatty acids rather than filtered out.

took the top off my dry wash tower put di resin in the bottom with two types of hardwood sawdust on top filled about half full.

will filter all my bio through buckets filled with sawdust(hardwood)with holes drilled in the bottom on a clothes rail then use the drywash tower to polish my fuel after doing a 50/50 test that way tower will stay clean for a good 6 months
