A friend helped me put this together; and by "helped" I mean he scavenged most of the parts and put it all together for me.
Enjoy!

The hose was about $85.00Originally posted by Tampa450 View Post
The tank was a gimme, as was everything else. My buddy is an HVAC tech and we traded rough cut lumber left over from when I had a sawmill for parts and labor. The pump is a compressor/vac pump; it drew down to ~ 27u of vac in less than 5 minutes
Now I just have to get it home and give it a try!2001 F250 Crew Cab V3 ConversionComment

Dude, that is SWEET set-up! I love the vac/compressor, that's the first time I've seen that on a sucker tank!
fwiw, I know a couple people using CHEAP venturi-style 'vacuum makers' from HF. Just blow compressed air thru it and it pulls a vac in your tank! Not terribly efficient, but low-cost if ya already have an air compressor. I also know a couple folks using vehicles' vacuum system to 'charge' tank (gas and diesel trucks).
If ya haven't collected this way yet - HOLD ON! OMG, that 1.5" hose (??) will slurp up crisco on a cold day, but will pull 90 gals of liquid VO in just a couple min's!!!! I would consider a a valve, then a peice of PVC or similar on end of hose. This solves the problem of hose coiling up, making it a PITA to get to bottom of drum - and makes it possible to suck from the top-down w/only one person. You'll see what I mean... Also, my friend Professor over at frybrid added some 'hangers' for his hose to the side of his tank - very cool!
I always leave the 'dregs' in the bottom of my drums. When they get close to about 1/3 of the drum - I swap in a clean drum and process the 'dregs' separately. Man, the area wild life LOVES all those 'crumbs' and they burn GREAT. Btw, ever since I fell 30ft and broke my back - I avoid moving drums w/any more than that in them!2001 F350 XLT 4x4, dually flatbed. 6637 air filter, single-shot injectors, straight-piped, BTS tunes, 200 gal main VO tank - 180k greasy miles

very cool setup!
How do you plan on toting this around, on a trailer? Hell it's probably sturdy enough to just mount an axle underneath it and stuck a hitch on the front
