Anybody can make biodiesel. It's simple, you can make it in your cooking area-- 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 low-cost but you'll be recycling a problematic waste item. Most importantly is the GREAT sensation of freedom, self-reliance and empowerment it will give you. Here's how to do it-- everything you require to know.

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

With the German Elsbett single-tank SVO system for instance you can use petro-diesel, biodiesel or SVO, in any combination. Just start up and go, stop and change off, like any other automobile. Journey to Forever's Toyota TownAce van uses an Elsbett single-tank system. More

There are likewise two-tank SVO systems which pre-heat the oil to make it . You need to start the engine on ordinary petroleum diesel or biodiesel in one tank and after that switch 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 works in any diesel, with no conversion or adjustments to the engine or the fuel system-- simply put it in and go. It also has better cold-weather residential or commercial properties than SVO (but not as excellent as petro-diesel-- see Using biodiesel in winter). Unlike SVO,

it's backed by many long-term tests in many nations, consisting of countless miles on the roadway.

Biodiesel is a tidy, safe, ready-to-use, alternative fuel, whereas it's fair to state that lots of SVO systems are still speculative and need further 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 new oil or used oil (and depending upon where you live). And unlike SVO, it has to be processed initially.

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

Anyway you have to process SVO too, specifically WVO (waste veggie oil, used, prepared), which many individuals with SVO systems use due to the fact that it's inexpensive or complimentary for the taking. With WVO food particles and impurities and water need to be removed, and it most likely must be deacidified too. Biodieselers state, "If I'm going to have to do all that I may also make biodiesel instead." But SVO types scoff at that-- it's much less processing than making biodiesel, they say. To each his own.
