Anybody can make biodiesel. It's simple, you can make it in your kitchen area-- and it's BETTER than the petro-diesel fuel the big oil business 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 used cooking oil it's not only low-cost however you'll be recycling a frustrating waste product. Most importantly is the GREAT sensation of liberty, self-reliance 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, reliable and affordable option. Unlike biodiesel, with SVO you need to modify the engine. The finest method is to fit a professional 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 instance you can use petro-diesel, biodiesel or SVO, in any mix. Just start up and go, stop and turn off, like any other vehicle. Journey to Forever's Toyota TownAce van utilizes 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 ordinary petroleum diesel or 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 benefits over SVO: it works in any diesel, without any conversion or adjustments to the engine or the fuel system-- simply put it in and go. It likewise has better cold-weather properties than SVO (but not as excellent 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 roadway.

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

But the big and rapidly growing around the world band of homebrewers don't mind-- they make a supply every week or when a month and soon get utilized to it. Many have actually been doing it for years.

Anyway you have to process SVO too, specifically WVO (waste vegetable oil, utilized, cooked), which many individuals with SVO systems use since it's low-cost or free for the taking. With WVO food particles and impurities and water need to be eliminated, and it most likely needs to be deacidified too. Biodieselers say, "If I'm going to need to do all that I may also make biodiesel rather." But SVO types discount that-- it's much less processing than making biodiesel, they say. To each his own.
