I now filter my oil down to 400mic, since doing this my pump hasn't blocked, until now.

What are you using to get down to that sort of level?

Two filter socks dropped in holes on the top of my storage drum, one next to the other not inside one another.

They work quite well but are a bugger to empty as I tend to dump all my BCB's in and they get quite heavy.

Very much the same except I brought mine from a VOD member, £2.99 each I think.

I use two layers of the mesh found around trampolines to filter oil from my lumpy crispy bits.  The key is time, you can dump any old crap in there, so long as it's left to drain for a decent while.  Then you get a mesh full of relatively dry bits that can be dumped in the bin, and some oil below it that makes fine bio.

I've been filtering to 200mic using an E-Z bucket filter for years.
