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 big offer you. Your diesel motor will run much 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 inexpensive but you'll be recycling a frustrating waste product. Best of all is the GREAT feeling of flexibility, self-reliance and empowerment it will provide you. Here's how to do it-- whatever you require to know.

Straight veggie oil fuel (SVO) systems can be a clean, effective and cost-effective choice. Unlike biodiesel, with SVO you have to customize the engine. The 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 instance you can use petro-diesel, biodiesel or SVO, in any mix. Just launch and go, stop and change off, like any other car. 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 start the engine on normal petroleum diesel or biodiesel in one tank and then 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 advantages over SVO: it operates in any diesel, without any conversion or modifications 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 numerous long-term tests in numerous countries, consisting of countless miles on the road.

Biodiesel is a clean, safe, ready-to-use, alternative fuel, whereas it's fair to state that numerous SVO systems are still speculative and need further 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 new oil or utilized oil (and depending on where you live). And unlike SVO, it needs 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 when a month and soon get utilized to it. Many have actually been doing it for several years.

Anyway you have to process SVO too, especially WVO (waste vegetable oil, utilized, prepared), which numerous people with SVO systems utilize due to the fact that it's inexpensive or free for the taking. With WVO food particles and pollutants and water should be eliminated, and it most likely should be deacidified too. Biodieselers state, "If I'm going to have to do all that I may also make biodiesel instead." But SVO types discount that-- it's much less processing than making biodiesel, they state. To each his own.
