Anybody can make biodiesel. It's simple, you can make it in your kitchen-- 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-- better for the environment and much better for health.

If you make it from utilized cooking oil it's not just inexpensive but you'll be recycling a bothersome waste item. Most importantly is the GREAT feeling of flexibility, self-reliance 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, efficient and cost-effective choice. Unlike biodiesel, with SVO you have to customize the engine. The very best way is to fit a professional singletank SVO system with replacement injectors and glowplugs optimised for veg-oil, in addition to fuel heating.

With the German Elsbett single-tank SVO system for example you can use petro-diesel, biodiesel or SVO, in any combination. Just begin up and go, stop and change 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 advantages over SVO: it operates in any diesel, with no conversion or modifications to the engine or the fuel system-- just put it in and go. It likewise has better cold-weather homes than SVO (but not as good as petro-diesel-- see Using in winter season). Unlike SVO,

it's backed by lots of long-lasting tests in numerous nations, consisting of millions of miles on the road.

Biodiesel is a clean, safe, ready-to-use, alternative fuel, whereas it's fair to state that many SVO systems are still experimental and need additional development.

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

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

Anyway you have to process SVO too, specifically WVO (waste grease, utilized, prepared), which lots of people with SVO systems utilize since it's cheap or totally free for the taking. With WVO food particles and impurities and water must be gotten rid of, and it probably ought to be deacidified too. Biodieselers say, "If I'm going to have to do all that I may too make biodiesel rather." But SVO types scoff at that-- it's much less processing than making biodiesel, they say. To each his own.
