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 huge oil companies offer 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 product. Best of all is the GREAT sensation of freedom, self-reliance and empowerment it will provide you. Here's how to do it-- whatever you need to know.

Straight veggie oil fuel (SVO) systems can be a clean, reliable and affordable option. Unlike biodiesel, with SVO you need to customize the engine. The finest method 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 circumstances you can use petro-diesel, biodiesel or SVO, in any mix. Just launch and go, stop and turn off, like any other vehicle. 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 need to start the engine on normal 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 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 operates in any diesel, with no conversion or modifications to the engine or the fuel system-- just put it in and go. It also has much better cold-weather 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 numerous nations, consisting of millions of miles on the road.

Biodiesel is a tidy, safe, ready-to-use, alternative fuel, whereas it's reasonable to say that lots of SVO systems are still experimental and need more advancement.

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

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

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