Biodiesel is a roadway and off roadway legal option to fossil/mineral diesel and red diesel. It has much of the characteristics of typical mineral diesel, but is usually made from vegetable oils.

Running any diesel motor on veggie oil is not a new concept. The original diesel engine first demonstrated in 1895 by Rudolph Diesel was developed to work on veggie oil.Biodiesel has actually been available for several years as a mainstream fuel in the major lorry manufacturing nations such as Germany, the USA and across Europe.

By producing biodiesel we are also recycling and that is excellent for the environment.

You might be surprised to learn that far from being an inferior, home produced fuel, biodiesel is much better for your cars and truck engine and the environment than fossil based fuels such as petrol and routine forecourt diesel.

Fuel costs are rising steadily all the time and with greater and unpredictable rates at the pumps, many individuals are turning to either making biodiesel or acquiring it already made from a supplier.

With the previous option, making biodiesel safely needs to be a priority. With the latter, finding a biodiesel provider near adequate to become affordable can frequently show hard, and obviously this is a more expensive option.

The Savings

By making biodiesel in your home it ought to be possible to produce your alternative fuel from waste grease prepared to go in you tank at a portion of the cost of forecourt fuel. If you pick to use new oil the savings are not as incredible however you will still see a substantial conserving on forecourt diesel pump prices.

Types of Vegetable Fuel

There are three choices to consider when utilizing vegetable oil, nevertheless we would only recommend choice three - home produced biodiesel.

Straight Grease

Vegetable oil is around five times more thick or thicker than regular diesel. A diesel motor would need to be modified to handle this increased viscosity to guarantee the oil flows easily through the fuel system and into the combustion chamber.

This can be accomplished either by pre-heating and so thinning the oil before it gets in the injectors, or by setting up a double tank system where the automobile is operated on typical diesel until warm and then switched over to biodiesel.

Another issue can be that oil has different chemical properties and combustion characteristics from the fuel that the majority of diesel engines are developed to use. In newer vehicles with precise tuning systems this can cause problems. In addition to this there is the expense of the conversion and warranty concerns to consider.

Blending

Vegetable oil can be combined with other fuels or solvents to lower its viscosity.

When mixing vegetable oil with forecourt diesel this ought to be restricted to 20% oil to 80% diesel.

This method is not a good environmental option as it still involves utilizing a fossil based fuel.

Some have explored with solvents such as white spirit or paint thinner. This is not recommended due to the fact that performance and the long-lasting result on engine wear are both unidentified quantities.
