Veggie Fuel

By Jack George

Did you know that biodiesel is the only alternative fuel approved by the Environmental Protection Agency?? Biodiesel is a clean burning, renewable fuel source that can be used in any diesel engine!! The process of producing biodiesel, involves converting vegetable oil or animal waste into biodiesel, by means of a processor.

One of the great things about using biodiesel is that you'll be helping both the environment and the agricultural community. Also biodiesel is much better for your car's engine and own personal health. What's more, you can make your own biodiesel and biodiesel processor from the comfort of your home. Everyone from advanced scientists, to your average Joes are taking notice of the countless benefits of making homemade biodiesel

One thing you may not realise is that biodiesel is actually better for your car's engine than regular diesel!! This is because biodiesel contains more lubricant properties and burns cleaner than other diesel and petroleum fuels. Another great advantage is that the emissions generate quite a satisfying smell

Why is biodiesel better for your own personal health than any other forms of fuel?? Regular diesel produces harmful exhaust emissions; these fumes pose problems to both the environment and the human body. Studies have shown that biodiesel is actually less toxic than table salt, and is as biodegradable as sugar!!

Did you know that homemade biodiesel is just as safe for your car as commercial biodiesel, and it much more economical; You can make your own biodiesel fuel for as little as 50 cents a litre

When mixing up your first test batch, you must make sure that you're using the correct amount of lye. You should use 4 grams of lye to every litre of unused vegetable oil; or 6 grams of lye for used oil. You can mix the ingredients using a regular home blender

The first thing you need to do when making a homemade biodiesel test batch is to get a big THICK mixing container; it gets hot!! Then add your lye and methanol, a little bit at a time. You need to then mix until the lye has fully dissolved. What you have left is known as methoxide!! Next you need to pre-heat the vegetable oil and add to the methoxide. Throw this in the blender on slow for about 30 mins, and allow to sit for 1 day. Your mixture should have thin liquid on the top and thick liquid at the bottom. If not you should retest the proportions of your mixture...

Making your own homemade biodiesel takes some practice, but once you've mastered the skill it can be very helpful. The knowledge you learn from making homemade biodiesel can be used to teach friends and family, or even make some additional money on the side. Who knows, eventually you might be able to start your own biodiesel business!! - 21396
