First pass the recommend an old Satellite dish and then you have to use some kind of filter cloth.
I had loads of it once for a job I used to do, I will have to have a look and then can send you some or let you know where to buy it.
If you have plenty time any cotton cloth will do but it will drain through slowly.
Also if you put the oil in a barrel and let it settle you can either drain off from the top or put a tap a couple inches away from the bottom so to leave the sediment.

| Aparantly it has to be filtered at 25 micron. You can pick up mesh from good hardware stores etc or buy a hydrailic filter. |
