Make your own Biodiesel Part 2
Anybody can make biodiesel. It’s easy, you can make it in your kitchen area– 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 feeling of liberty, independence and empowerment it will give you. Here’s how to do it– whatever you need to understand.
Straight vegetable oil fuel (SVO) systems can be a clean, effective and economical option. Unlike biodiesel, with SVO you need to customize the engine. The finest way 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 use petro-diesel, biodiesel or SVO, in any mix. Just launch and go, stop and turn off, like any other car. Journey to Forever’s Toyota TownAce van utilizes an Elsbett single-tank system. More
There are likewise two-tank SVO systems which pre-heat the oil to make it thinner. You have to begin 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 switch back to petro- or biodiesel before you stop the engine, or you’ll coke up the injectors.
More details on straight vegetable in my blog.
3. Biodiesel or SVO?
Biodiesel has some clear benefits over SVO: it operates 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 homes than SVO (however not as excellent as petro-diesel– see Using biodiesel in winter season). Unlike SVO,
it’s backed by many long-lasting tests in numerous countries, consisting of countless miles on the road.
Biodiesel is a tidy, safe, ready-to-use, alternative fuel, whereas it’s fair to state that numerous SVO systems are still experimental and require further development.
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 brand-new oil or used oil (and depending upon where you live). And unlike SVO, it needs to be processed first.
But the big and rapidly growing worldwide band of homebrewers don’t mind– they make a supply weekly or once a month and quickly get used to it. Many have actually been doing it for many years.
Anyway you need to process SVO too, especially WVO (waste grease, used, cooked), which many individuals with SVO systems utilize since it’s cheap or complimentary for the taking. With WVO food particles and impurities and water need to be removed, and it probably must be deacidified too. Biodieselers say, “If I’m going to have to do all that I might as well make biodiesel instead.” But SVO types scoff at that– it’s much less processing than making biodiesel, they say. To each his own.
