Anybody can make biodiesel. It's simple, you can make it in your cooking area-- and it's BETTER than the petro-diesel fuel the huge oil companies sell you. Your diesel motor will run better and last longer on your home-made fuel, and it's much cleaner-- better for the environment and much better for health.

If you make it from utilized cooking oil it's not just inexpensive however you'll be recycling a bothersome waste product. Most importantly is the GREAT feeling of freedom, self-reliance and empowerment it will provide you. Here's how to do it-- whatever you need to understand.

Straight vegetable oil fuel (SVO) systems can be a tidy, efficient and affordable choice. Unlike biodiesel, with SVO you need to modify the engine. The very best way is to fit an expert singletank SVO system with replacement injectors and for veg-oil, as well as fuel heating.

With the German Elsbett single-tank SVO system for example you can utilize petro-diesel, biodiesel or SVO, in any combination. Just start up and go, stop and change off, like any other cars and truck. Journey to Forever's Toyota TownAce van utilizes an Elsbett single-tank system. More

There are also two-tank SVO systems which pre-heat the oil to make it thinner. You have to begin the engine on common petroleum diesel or biodiesel in one tank and then switch to SVO in the other tank when the veg-oil is hot enough, and switch back to petro- or biodiesel before you stop the engine, or you'll coke up the injectors.

More details on straight veggie oil systems in my blog.

3. Biodiesel or SVO?

Biodiesel has some clear advantages over SVO: it operates in any diesel, with no conversion or adjustments to the engine or the fuel system-- just put it in and go. It likewise has much better cold-weather homes than SVO (however not as great as petro-diesel-- see Using biodiesel in winter season). Unlike SVO,

it's backed by many long-lasting tests in many countries, consisting of countless miles on the road.

Biodiesel is a tidy, safe, ready-to-use, alternative fuel, whereas it's reasonable to say that lots of SVO systems are still speculative and require additional advancement.

On the other hand, biodiesel can be more costly, depending how much you make, what you make it from and whether you're comparing it with brand-new oil or used oil (and depending upon where you live). And unlike SVO, it needs to be processed initially.

But the big and quickly growing worldwide band of homebrewers do not mind-- they make a supply weekly or as soon as a month and soon get used to it. Many have actually been doing it for several years.

Anyway you have to process SVO too, particularly WVO (waste grease, utilized, cooked), which lots of people with SVO systems use due to the fact that it's inexpensive or totally free for the taking. With WVO food particles and impurities and water need to be gotten rid of, and it probably must be deacidified too. Biodieselers say, "If I'm going to have to do all that I might too make biodiesel instead." But SVO types scoff at that-- it's much less processing than making biodiesel, they say. To each his own.
