Once filtering, I'd then buy an old benz or other diesel powered car and use it as a daily driver.
Can't find a centrifuge that's cheap enough imo to make the dollars work out. The used ones I find are always sold relatively quickly. I've read about guys making them out of a torque converter, I've also read one made his out of a juicer.
I'll get to something eventually, sooner the better with fuel prices going over 4 bucks a gallon.

There are ways to build your own single pass for relatively cheap. Can get the "Po' Boy" kit from WVO designs which comes with the drive coupler and bowl... all you have to do is build a housing and provide a motor to spin it. Its ~$250 IIRC.
I feed a small "fleet" of mechanical diesels with this blend.
