Really? I have been filtering for 2 years and have sold at least 10,000 liters of WVO that was filtered using 2 Racor filters . They both have water seperaters, the first is a 30 micron, second is 2 micron. I don't use WVO that has water in it and my last 3 micron VO filter in my Transporter has lasted 15,000 kms and 1 year with zero problems. I haven't had one of my customers have any problem with the VO they bought from me and the ones who have had troubles from not using it come to me, fill up with my filtered VO and problem solved. I agree that a centrifuge is a very good way to filter, but only when it's set up right. I had 2 customers who were trying to set up their centrifuge's and had to do a few trial and errors before it worked properly. There's more than one way to skin a cat.
