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 companies 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 just inexpensive but you'll be recycling a frustrating waste product. Most importantly is the GREAT sensation of liberty, self-reliance and empowerment it will offer you. Here's how to do it-- everything you need to know.

Straight veggie oil fuel (SVO) systems can be a tidy, efficient and cost-effective option. Unlike biodiesel, with SVO you need to customize the engine. The best way is to fit a professional singletank SVO system with replacement injectors and glowplugs optimised for veg-oil, in addition to .

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 automobile. 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 need to start the engine on normal petroleum diesel or biodiesel in one tank and then change 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.

3. Biodiesel or SVO?

Biodiesel has some clear benefits 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 (however not as good as petro-diesel-- see Using biodiesel in winter). Unlike SVO,

it's backed by lots of long-term tests in numerous nations, including millions of miles on the road.

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

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 used oil (and depending upon where you live). And unlike SVO, it has to be processed first.

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

Anyway you need to process SVO too, particularly WVO (waste vegetable oil, utilized, cooked), which lots of people with SVO systems utilize since it's low-cost or free for the taking. With WVO food particles and impurities and water should be gotten rid of, and it most likely needs to be deacidified too. Biodieselers say, "If I'm going to have to do all that I may as well make biodiesel rather." But SVO types belittle that-- it's much less processing than making biodiesel, they state. To each his own.
