Anybody can make biodiesel. It's simple, 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 utilized cooking oil it's not only cheap but you'll be recycling a frustrating waste item. Most importantly is the GREAT sensation of freedom, independence and empowerment it will provide you. Here's how to do it-- whatever you require to know.

Straight grease fuel (SVO) systems can be a clean, efficient and economical alternative. Unlike biodiesel, with SVO you need to modify the engine. The very best method is to fit a professional singletank SVO system with replacement injectors and glowplugs optimised 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 mix. Just start up and go, stop and turn off, like any other cars and truck. Journey to Forever's Toyota TownAce van uses an Elsbett single-tank system. More

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

3. Biodiesel or SVO?

Biodiesel has some clear advantages over SVO: it operates 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 homes than SVO (but not as excellent as petro-diesel-- see Using biodiesel in winter). Unlike SVO,

it's backed by many long-term tests in lots of countries, including millions of miles on the roadway.

is a clean, safe, ready-to-use, alternative fuel, whereas it's reasonable to say that numerous SVO systems are still experimental and require further advancement.

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

But the big and rapidly growing worldwide band of homebrewers do not mind-- they make a supply every week or as soon as a month and soon get utilized to it. Many have been doing it for many years.

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