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 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 utilized cooking oil it's not only low-cost but you'll be recycling a frustrating waste product. Most importantly is the GREAT sensation of flexibility, 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, effective and . Unlike biodiesel, with SVO you have to modify the engine. The very best method is to fit an expert 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 instance you can utilize petro-diesel, biodiesel or SVO, in any mix. Just start up and go, stop and turn off, like any other vehicle. 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 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 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 also has better cold-weather homes than SVO (however not as excellent as petro-diesel-- see Using biodiesel in winter season). Unlike SVO,

it's backed by numerous long-term tests in lots of countries, including countless miles on the road.

Biodiesel is a tidy, safe, ready-to-use, alternative fuel, whereas it's reasonable to say that many SVO systems are still experimental and need 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 has actually to be processed initially.

But the large and rapidly growing around the world band of homebrewers don't mind-- they make a supply each week or as soon as a month and soon get utilized to it. Many have been doing it for years.

Anyway you need to process SVO too, specifically WVO (waste grease, used, prepared), which lots of people with SVO systems utilize because it's low-cost or complimentary for the taking. With WVO food particles and pollutants and water need to 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 instead." But SVO types discount that-- it's much less processing than making biodiesel, they say. To each his own.
