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


If you make it from used cooking oil it's not only inexpensive however you'll be recycling a problematic waste item. Most importantly is the GREAT feeling of liberty, independence and empowerment it will provide you. Here's how to do it-- everything you need to understand.


Straight grease fuel (SVO) systems can be a clean, efficient and cost-effective choice. Unlike biodiesel, with SVO you have to customize the engine. The very best method is to fit a professional singletank SVO system with replacement injectors and glowplugs optimised for veg-oil, in addition to fuel heating.


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


There are likewise two-tank SVO systems which pre-heat the oil to make it thinner. You have to start the engine on normal petroleum diesel or biodiesel in one tank and then change 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 grease systems in my blog site.


3. Biodiesel or SVO?


Biodiesel has some clear advantages over SVO: it works in any diesel, without any conversion or adjustments to the engine or the fuel system-- just put it in and go. It also has much better cold-weather properties than SVO (however not as excellent 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 clean, safe, ready-to-use, alternative fuel, whereas it's reasonable to say that lots of SVO systems are still speculative and require further advancement.


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


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


Anyway you have to process SVO too, particularly WVO (waste grease, used, prepared), which many individuals with SVO systems use because it's low-cost or free for the taking. With WVO food particles and and water must be gotten rid of, and it probably ought to be deacidified too. Biodieselers state, "If I'm going to have to do all that I might too make biodiesel rather." But SVO types scoff at that-- it's much less processing than making biodiesel, they say. To each his own.
