OK so apparently more pre-filtering would be a good thing.

On a good note, it seems that I have no water in my oil - other than the frozen cubie. I did a few hot pan tests and the results were no water, none, zip, nada from the first sample, and less than a bubble per inch on the second sample (second sample was only filtered to 100 micron, 1st was to 10 micron)

Searching around for a better pre-filtering method I came across quite a few. The coolest by far that I have found (for the entire setup actually) is by our very own M John Galt

Have to post it:
Dewatering and Cleaning VO with Upflow Settling - Topic Powered by eve community

M John Galt - that is a brilliant setup. I take back every nasty comment I ever made about you.

I'm definately going to incorperate it into mine, it will be the pre-filter into my heated barrel - It just pumps nicer when it's thinned out!

First 55 Gallons now filtered down to 10 Micron!
