I use filters that look like socks, don't know english name, LIKE THIS EXAMPLE
remember these filters have to remain always in the oil, so when not in use just leave 2 cm of oil in the bottom of the can and drop the filter till is is 99% collapsed into oil

I use the same sort of filters but don't leave them in oil when not in use and have not had any probs with them, why do you do this?
that's something I've seen both in the "Petales" network and the "Oliomobile" site : there are waxes in the filtered part and these waxes dry between sessions, so the filter is clogged faster, keeping it in the oil prevents the waxes drying and the filter lasts much longer (they say it's a ratio of 1 to 10 in the filtered volume before the filter is blocked)
Fair enough, that makes sense but I just put mine through the washing machine when they get clogged up and they last ages.
you don't need much in the way of filters if you are doing bio, i use just a 10" 5 mic in a housing like this Oil / BioDiesel Filter body accepts 10" filters BSP 1" | eBay
for veg oil i use 3 of these 20.10 & 5 Mic.
bag filters are ok but you have to be hands on with it, with the housings you can pump it round and round while you are doing somthing else.
