Anybody can make biodiesel. It's easy, you can make it in your kitchen-- and it's BETTER than the petro-diesel fuel the big oil companies offer 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 used cooking oil it's not only low-cost however you'll be recycling a bothersome waste product. Most importantly is the GREAT sensation of liberty, self-reliance and empowerment it will provide you. Here's how to do it-- everything you need to understand.

Straight vegetable oil fuel (SVO) systems can be a clean, efficient and affordable option. Unlike biodiesel, with SVO you need to customize the engine. The very best method is to fit a professional 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 utilize petro-diesel, biodiesel or SVO, in any combination. Just launch 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 start the engine on regular 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 works in any diesel, with no conversion or adjustments 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 biodiesel in winter). Unlike SVO,

it's backed by many long-lasting tests in many countries, including countless miles on the road.

Biodiesel is a tidy, safe, ready-to-use, alternative fuel, whereas it's fair to state that many SVO systems are still speculative and require 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 brand-new oil or utilized oil (and depending on where you live). And unlike SVO, it has to be processed initially.

But the large and quickly growing worldwide band of homebrewers don't mind-- they make a supply each week or when a month and quickly get used to it. Many have actually been doing it for years.

Anyway you need to process SVO too, particularly WVO (waste grease, used, prepared), which many people with SVO systems use due to the fact that it's cheap or free for the taking. With WVO food particles and impurities and water need to be gotten rid of, and it probably must be deacidified too. Biodieselers state, "If I'm going to need to do all that I may too make biodiesel instead." But belittle that-- it's much less processing than making biodiesel, they say. To each his own.
