Anybody can make biodiesel. It's simple, you can make it in your kitchen-- 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-- better for the environment and better for health.

If you make it from utilized cooking oil it's not just low-cost but you'll be recycling a frustrating waste product. Best of all is the GREAT feeling of freedom, self-reliance and empowerment it will offer you. Here's how to do it-- whatever you require to know.

Straight grease fuel (SVO) systems can be a clean, reliable and affordable option. Unlike biodiesel, with SVO you have to modify the engine. The finest way is to fit an expert singletank SVO system with replacement injectors and glowplugs optimised for veg-oil, along with fuel heating.

With the German Elsbett single-tank SVO system for instance you can utilize petro-diesel, biodiesel or SVO, in any combination. Just start up and go, stop and turn off, like any other vehicle. Journey to Forever's Toyota TownAce van uses an system. More

There are also two-tank SVO systems which pre-heat the oil to make it thinner. You need to start 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.

More info on straight grease systems in my blog site.

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 much better cold-weather properties than SVO (but not as good as petro-diesel-- see Using biodiesel in winter season). Unlike SVO,

it's backed by many long-term tests in numerous nations, consisting of countless miles on the roadway.

Biodiesel is a tidy, safe, ready-to-use, alternative fuel, whereas it's reasonable to say that lots of SVO systems are still speculative and need further advancement.

On the other hand, biodiesel can be more costly, 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 has actually to be processed initially.

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

Anyway you need to process SVO too, specifically WVO (waste veggie oil, used, cooked), which numerous individuals with SVO systems use since it's low-cost or free for the taking. With WVO food particles and pollutants and water must be eliminated, and it probably must be deacidified too. Biodieselers say, "If I'm going to need to do all that I might also make biodiesel instead." But SVO types discount that-- it's much less processing than making biodiesel, they say. To each his own.
