What is the best WVO to use in SVO set up.

Had a talk with the local chipee and he said I can have as much cotton
seed oil as I want.
He pointed me in the direction of the waste drum, said its full .(looks like
a commercial companies waste unit)
He thinks they make biodiesel out of it, They just take it away.
He was quite pleased they took it away for free.
He said just bring a few empty cans and he will fill them up next time he
empties them which is every 3rd day.
He uses 50litres every 3 days.

So I thought my biggest problem would be to obtain WVO.

I tried not to show the big grin on my face.
Went straight to Bunnings and bought a few 25 litre containers as
recommended by our members $15.99 and two big 60 litre willow garbage
containers with lids for settling $9.98 (aussie made)

My only prob now is is cotton seed oil suitable for SVO setup???
Could not find much on cotton seed oil in the search feature.
Maybe some one can direct me to a good thread.
I know a lot of you use it in Bio diesel but what about SVO

Anyway pleased at this point and hope you don't disappoint me by
saying cotton seed no good.
Neil.
ps How do you spell chipee or chippee

Chippy?

Yes, cottonseed oil is great for biodiesel. As long as the WVO is not solid at the lower temps you should be fine. And if he changes it twice a week it should be better quality than a lot of others that only change it once.

Treat the chippy owner well, keep the oil area clean and tidy, and hang on to your supply!

Good luck!

Cottonseed oil is great to use as SVO too. Looks like neil has hit the jackpot. 50 litres every 3 days - that's great! And if he changes it every 3 days it shouldn't be too dirty. Well done neil.

Thanks guy's you've made my evening.

Neil,
Keep your eyes open for the 20 and 25 litre translucent HDPE chemical drums at the restaurants, hotels, caravan parks, etc. (anywhere they use cleaning chemicals, disinfectants, detergents, etc)
They are ideal for storing veggie in a dark corner of your garage, easy to handle and can pour into a funnel to refuel your car easily. I use them for my fuel storage.

When filtering, use the top 3/4 of the oil from each drum and consolidate the remainder, which has a high concentration of high melting pooint oils, into other drums. If you have plenty of oil, you can return this oil to the commercial collection container, so that they still get some oil.

Your filter bags will accumulate a layer of high melting point oils (this actually improves the filtration) and flow will reduce. Before the flow reduced too much, you can remove the high melting point oils and return these to the high melting point oil drums going back for the collector.
Using a filter liner, inside the bag filters allows ne to rapidly remove the high melting point oils by removing the liner, scraping it into the solid oil drum and returning it to the filter bag. Most of the solid contaminants will be trapped in the solid oils , allowing the filter bag to remain in use for much longer.

I hope these ideas are of use to you,
Tony
you have email.

Good advice Tony.
Neil, you can give what I call 'the sludge' to a bio maker. Apparently it makes good bio.
We need to find a bio maker on the central coast.

Thanks Tony for the advice much appreciated.

My local Chippy said it is picked up by a commercial biodiesel manufacturer
I presumed the Central coast plant must be running again.
Maybe it is being transported further a field.
