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

If you make it from utilized cooking oil it's not only cheap but you'll be recycling a troublesome waste product. Most importantly is the GREAT feeling of liberty, independence and empowerment it will offer you. Here's how to do it-- whatever you require to understand.

Straight grease fuel (SVO) systems can be a tidy, efficient and affordable choice. Unlike biodiesel, with SVO you have to modify the engine. The best way is to fit a professional singletank SVO system with replacement injectors and glowplugs optimised for veg-oil, along with fuel heating.

With the German Elsbett single-tank SVO system for example you can utilize petro-diesel, biodiesel or SVO, in any mix. Just begin 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 likewise two-tank SVO systems which pre-heat the oil to make it thinner. You have to begin the engine on ordinary 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 switch 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 benefits 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 likewise has much better residential or commercial properties than SVO (however not as excellent as petro-diesel-- see Using biodiesel in winter). Unlike SVO,

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

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

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

But the large and quickly growing worldwide band of homebrewers do not mind-- they make a supply weekly or when a month and quickly get utilized to it. Many have been doing it for years.

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