Anybody can make biodiesel. It's simple, 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 better and last longer on your home-made fuel, and it's much cleaner-- much better for the environment and better for health.

If you make it from oil it's not only low-cost however you'll be recycling a troublesome waste product. 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 understand.

Straight grease fuel (SVO) systems can be a tidy, efficient and affordable alternative. Unlike biodiesel, with SVO you have to modify the engine. The very best way is to fit an expert 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 use petro-diesel, biodiesel or SVO, in any mix. Just start up and go, stop and turn off, like any other automobile. 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 begin the engine on ordinary petroleum diesel or biodiesel in one tank and after that change 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, with no conversion or adjustments to the engine or the fuel system-- just put it in and go. It also has better cold-weather residential or commercial properties than SVO (however not as good as petro-diesel-- see Using biodiesel in winter season). Unlike SVO,

it's backed by numerous long-term tests in many nations, consisting of millions of miles on the roadway.

Biodiesel is a tidy, safe, ready-to-use, alternative fuel, whereas it's reasonable to state that many SVO systems are still speculative and require further 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 brand-new oil or utilized oil (and depending upon where you live). And unlike SVO, it needs to be processed initially.

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

Anyway you need to process SVO too, especially WVO (waste veggie oil, utilized, cooked), which many individuals with SVO systems use because it's cheap or totally free for the taking. With WVO food particles and pollutants and water need to be eliminated, and it probably ought to be deacidified too. Biodieselers state, "If I'm going to need to do all that I might also make biodiesel instead." But SVO types scoff at that-- it's much less processing than making biodiesel, they state. To each his own.
