Are you thinking about winter yet?

i dont keep the original filters of cars now,  somehow trying to get thick veg oil through a paper filter designed for very thin diesel cant be right in my thinking... so yeah blockages are gonna happen, i use sausage filters now something i think more in keeping with the viscosity of the liquid... and i dont change them ever, yet...

Anybody want something like that that's takeapartable at the BBB. I've got something similar that where the whole thing comes apart and the filter is washable.

Sounds very efficient, got any photos we can stick on the wiki ... the Veg section hasn't had any additions for quite some time.

I've got one of them chrome filters. They are really well made.
Currently running on a cheapo plastic inline filter. It aint blocked, so it can stay till it is.

Why?

i find the sausage ones have alot more surface area for veg to go through easy, those chrome ones the filter part is very tiny, plus those sausage ones have been on many cars now with out a problem so far, and you can buy 5x for just over a tenner i think on e-blag/

i did buy to try them but as the others worked well didnt tchange to these. so just stuck in the shed...

That makes a lot of sense. I can see the increase in surface area can be beneficial.

No. The gauze on this one is plastic.
