Vacuum pickup
Moving oil around is tough. This is a vacuum system that works well. The oil is sucked out of storage tanks and the pushed into the vertical settling tanks using just a few psi. Works very well with used motor oil. Caution must be exercised to not draw too much vacuum or risk boiling any water that may be in with the oil, possibly emulsifying the oil. This setup pumps a lot of oil every year.
Main vacuum setup consists of a 13 hp motor with electric start. The pump was pulled off a manure spreader. It can easily drain a 55 gallon drum in seconds. A sediment bowl and filter help prevent oil from reaching the vacuum pump. The vacuum tank is a re-purposed propane tank. It handles the vacuum well. It is pressurized to push the oil into the settling tanks. The hoses use cam lock fittings making it quick. All hoses and fitting are vacuum and pressure rated for the application.
