  • Pumping Cold WVO, Help

    I'm still not up and running with the production of Bd but have secured sources of WVO, the latest being from a place that accumulates about 40 gals/month. Trouble is I've got to transfer it and where I live is very cold. Is there anyone with a solution to my problem. The only solution I can come up with is attempting to heat it somehow but maybe some of you pro's have another idea? Appreciate the help.

    If your supplier will allow you to provide 60 litre drums, you can take the drum home to heat on a gas fire (or other means). These drums are obtainable from Auto Service places which get ATF anf other oils in these containers.
    They weigh less than 60kg when full of oil. I can manage to handle these in and out of my trailer, using a little grunt and a bit of thought.
    Life is a journey, with problems to solve, lessons to learn, but most of all, experiences to enjoy.

      Thanks Tony for coming to my aid. How silly of me not to think of that simple solution! I was stuck inside the box and couldn't see outside it. Hope to be of assistance to you some day
      Cheers Stuart
