Anybody can make biodiesel. It's easy, you can make it in your cooking area-- and it's BETTER than the petro-diesel fuel the huge 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 however you'll be recycling a troublesome waste item. Most importantly is the GREAT sensation of liberty, self-reliance and empowerment it will give you. Here's how to do it-- everything you need to understand.

Straight veggie oil fuel (SVO) systems can be a clean, reliable and affordable 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 fuel heating.

With the German Elsbett single-tank SVO system for instance you can use 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 likewise two-tank SVO systems which pre-heat the oil to make it thinner. You need to begin the engine on regular petroleum diesel or biodiesel in one tank and after that 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.

3. Biodiesel or SVO?

Biodiesel has some clear advantages over SVO: it works in any diesel, without any conversion or modifications to the engine or the fuel system-- just put it in and go. It likewise has much better cold-weather properties than SVO (however not as great as petro-diesel-- see Using biodiesel in winter season). Unlike SVO,

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

Biodiesel is a tidy, safe, ready-to-use, fuel, whereas it's reasonable to state that numerous SVO systems are still speculative and need more 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 utilized oil (and depending on where you live). And unlike SVO, it needs to be processed first.

But the large and quickly growing worldwide band of homebrewers do not mind-- they make a supply weekly or when a month and quickly get utilized to it. Many have actually been doing it for several years.

Anyway you need to process SVO too, particularly WVO (waste grease, used, prepared), which many people with SVO systems use due to the fact that it's cheap or complimentary for the taking. With WVO food particles and pollutants and water should be gotten rid of, and it most likely should be deacidified too. Biodieselers state, "If I'm going to have to do all that I may also make biodiesel instead." But SVO types discount that-- it's much less processing than making biodiesel, they state. To each his own.
