alexp5 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Do you, like me, use paraffin or white spirit for de-greasing greasy stuff, like chains? Are you, like me, tighter than a duck's arris? Then re-cycle your paraffin by filtering the chunks of shite out of it by firstly pouring it into an old plastic milk container (other containers are available) and leaving it for a few days for the shite to separate and sink to the bottom. Use a portion of yer Missus's old tights to filter out any wayward chunks - the toe bit is better - and pour carefully into another container. You're best off saving the gusset area and sending it to Gretch . Then filter it again using a paper coffee filter cone to get at the smaller particles of crud, thus ending up with squeaky clean paraffin and very little wastage. I've just filtered about 4 litres. You wouldn't know it's been used once already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egg on Leggs Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 I have had a similar idea for petrol, I am going to connect the exhaust to the petrol filler cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
