Mexican Oil and Fuel Filters

Craig picks up our oil from the Mexican restaurant on Tuesdays. Although there were some problems with storage last week, everything went as planned today and we are now in possession of 10 more free gallons of fuel.

Decided to order some new filters this evening from Greasecar. At $10 a filter we sprung for the 5/1 micron bags which consist of a 5 micron bag which blocks the coarser particles, and then a 1 micron outer bag which removes 99% of particles. Given our current rate of consumption, it appears that we'll need to utilize one filter a month although that may change depending on the quality of the oil we receive.
