DIY BIODIESEL KITS

Some basic facts – about 100 million gallons of waste cooking oil are disposed of in the US per year. Filtered Waste Vegetable Oil (WVO) can be used straight in diesel vehicles with conversion kits, or can be refined into bio-diesel – also usable in vehicles. Bio-diesel refining involves some toxic substances – methanol for example – and reduces the cost differential between conventional and recycled fuel. Nerveless there is still a use for the waste product as an alternative to gasoline consumption. One wvo recycling company in Colorado EPR inc. has an oil gathering service that will collect restaurant or food service WVO on a regular basis for free. Company’s like RecycleMyOil.com provide collection services with restaurants/food service to gather and re-allocate WVO (with or without further refinement) for things like cars,trucks, and even heating units in Garages and Sheds. I would seen that many greenhouse gases are produced every year from the burning of diesel fuel in trucks. The recent fuel prices are cause for productive ways to act responsible environmentally speaking and one way, is to use waste vegetable oil as a renewable supply of fuel for vehicles. There are so many benefits of using this supply to replace fossil fuels and some of these include concentrated air pollution, condensed greenhouse gas emissions, and conservation many other valuable resources found on the planet. There are two ways you can use waste vegetable oil in truck engines. The first way is that you can use straight vegetable oil either waste frying oil or fresh- pressed oil, however you will need an extra fuel tank and a system for heating and filtering the oil before it reaches the engine. The reason why you will need this is because pure vegetable oil is too thick to work in the engine unless the oil is heated up. If your goal is to go modification free on your diesel your best bet is to use not just WVO but Bio-Diesel. Bio-diesel is a fuel source that can be made from waste vegetable oil when a chemical reaction is induced between methanol and lye. You can create it from waste vegetable oil that can be collected from most restaurants, or you can use fresh pressed oil but that can be costly. World wide this is being produced today to be sold on the commercial market, due to the fact that anyone can get the right equipment it can even be made in your home. Some of the toxic air pollutants that are condensed include soot, particulates, carbon monoxide, and sulphur oxides, however nitrous oxide emissions may increase slightly.
