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 business offer 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 much better for health.

If you make it from used cooking oil it's not just low-cost but you'll be recycling a troublesome waste item. Best of all is the GREAT feeling of flexibility, independence and empowerment it will offer you. Here's how to do it-- everything you require to understand.

Straight grease fuel (SVO) systems can be a clean, reliable and affordable choice. Unlike biodiesel, with SVO you have to customize the engine. The very 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 Elsbett single-tank SVO system for example you can utilize petro-diesel, biodiesel or SVO, in any mix. Just launch and go, stop and change 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 begin the engine on regular petroleum diesel or biodiesel in one tank and then switch to SVO in the other tank when the 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 advantages over SVO: it works in any diesel, with no conversion or modifications to the engine or the fuel system-- simply put it in and go. It also has better cold-weather properties than SVO (but not as great as petro-diesel-- see Using biodiesel in winter). Unlike SVO,

it's backed by numerous 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 fair to state that many SVO systems are still experimental and need additional advancement.

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

But the large and rapidly growing around the world band of homebrewers do not mind-- they make a supply each week or when a month and quickly get used to it. Many have actually been doing it for years.

Anyway you have to process SVO too, especially WVO (waste veggie oil, used, cooked), which lots of people with SVO systems use since it's low-cost or complimentary for the taking. With WVO food particles and pollutants and water need to be eliminated, and it probably needs to be deacidified too. Biodieselers state, "If I'm going to have to do all that I may also make biodiesel rather." But SVO types scoff at that-- it's much less processing than making biodiesel, they state. To each his own.
