Anybody can make biodiesel. It's easy, you can make it in your cooking area-- and it's BETTER than the petro-diesel fuel the huge oil companies offer 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 used cooking oil it's not just inexpensive but you'll be recycling a bothersome waste product. Most importantly is the GREAT sensation of freedom, self-reliance and empowerment it will give you. Here's how to do it-- everything you need to understand.

Straight grease fuel (SVO) systems can be a tidy, efficient and economical option. Unlike biodiesel, with SVO you have to modify the engine. The best method is to fit an expert singletank SVO system with replacement injectors and glowplugs optimised for veg-oil, as well as fuel heating.

With the German SVO system for circumstances 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 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 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 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 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 numerous nations, including millions of 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 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 new oil or utilized oil (and depending upon where you live). And unlike SVO, it needs to be processed initially.

But the large and quickly growing worldwide band of homebrewers don't mind-- they make a supply every week or as soon as a month and soon get utilized to it. Many have actually been doing it for many years.

Anyway you need to process SVO too, especially WVO (waste grease, used, cooked), which many individuals with SVO systems utilize because it's inexpensive or complimentary for the taking. With WVO food particles and pollutants and water should be gotten rid of, and it most likely must be deacidified too. Biodieselers state, "If I'm going to have to do all that I may too make biodiesel rather." But SVO types belittle that-- it's much less processing than making biodiesel, they state. To each his own.
