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 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 used cooking oil it's not just low-cost however you'll be recycling a frustrating waste item. Best of all is the GREAT sensation of flexibility, independence and empowerment it will provide you. Here's how to do it-- whatever 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 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 example you can utilize petro-diesel, biodiesel or SVO, in any combination. Just launch and go, stop and turn 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 need to begin the engine on common 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 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-- just put it in and go. It also has better cold-weather properties than SVO (but not as great as petro-diesel-- see Using biodiesel in winter). Unlike SVO,

it's backed by lots of long-lasting tests in lots of nations, consisting of countless miles on the road.

Biodiesel is a tidy, safe, ready-to-use, alternative fuel, whereas it's reasonable to state that many SVO systems are still experimental and require additional development.

On the other hand, biodiesel can be more pricey, depending just 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 large and quickly around the world band of homebrewers do not mind-- they make a supply weekly or once 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 lots of people with SVO systems use due to the fact that it's cheap or totally free for the taking. With WVO food particles and impurities and water must be removed, and it most likely must be deacidified too. Biodieselers say, "If I'm going to have to do all that I may also make biodiesel rather." But SVO types scoff at that-- it's much less processing than making biodiesel, they state. To each his own.
