« Last post by RichardP on January 09, 2025, 09:48:55 PM »Those controllers are good, Mine have an led display to show the voltage so you can guage how much you have to play with, never had a problem with them
I don't know about nylon cock filters, sock filters would be fine for your needs though lol.

« Last post by Vijay on January 08, 2025, 11:40:50 AM »I've used those pumps, just never knew they were good for veg. How controllable are they with 12v controller? Is it just one of these? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132879102555?_skw=240v+to+12v+adjustable&epid=6013961236&itmmeta=01JH2QN8A0AY900NH2PWDRGK9F&hash=item1ef036325b:g:c8EAAOSw8H1absQR&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKn5WX1pYJRHdbccn0PEmxmSBqmpFT0BAzx54JN4ysS2ad6Nu6uzzgaUFD3e9d0%2FV88Z94rMD1ZmRaBt98dCeSLWG2fAWBXg9a2E9f3%2BF8gVcT1zOVUO1do54FE2qs6fEquBupyViHxqXs05KMJc9yiItQ0ZvW5WiDxcbwdVU%2Fi5I7%2F%2BDMySfUnrR8Gv8X%2BXAvfd5qJOXQwbogMWbWygnBjjXpyte3Q79Xyi2ptjwaf537afhFejXoryq84PVuwyQeWe%2F%2B2%2B2NVXeAIvjkNeqDHGxIOCI5Hk4I5pXqsbyyeXXw%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBMmIXV14hl
Never thought of nylon and they do nylon cock filters which could be perfect. Would 400 micron be too course? Anyone know what micron a standard kitchen sieve is?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134649040360? looks like one I've used, they're all much the same really.
If you're just straining oil to get most of the crap out to store, just get a fine nylon sieve. I picked some up years ago from a bee keeping/honey website, they were 100, 200, 400 & 600 micron, just used the 200 micron for sieving the oil for bio, that will take out most stuff including some heavier fats in the oil.

Hey Richard, hope you're good mate? Out of interest, what's the pump that would be fine on veg?
Thanks so much Keef. I have some housings already but want it even simpler.
Thinking of just using a pillowcase but I think it would block up pretty quickly..................................

Then decide if you want to pay for the full version. It is only available for android. You also need a cheap OBD bluetooth dongle.
Have a look at the VAGDPF forum
