What was a pain? The filtration part? I have double 40 gal settling tanks. I pour my oil in one side, it works its way through the tanks and then through 5 micron filters. I spend maybe 5 minutes/wk filtering... it take me more time to drive up the road to get diesel.
Nothing beats an "upflow" settling & filtration system. The filters last for MONTHS and the water drops right out if you keep the top half of the tanks wrapped with heat tape.

The filtering of the oil. My brother had us filtering it at the restaurant for him. Then he was heating up about 25-35 gal. of oil and let it settle then do it again. Then he would pump it through his filter.
We were using 100% non-hydrogenated canola oil, but were worried about carbon in the oil.
The frybrid kit was nice, but it took a lot of time to install.
