Making Biodiesel
We’ve been giving classes on making biodiesel and biodiesel processors, plus we convert diesels to run on waste vegetable oil. Many folks seem confused, and seem to think biodiesel is a mix of vegetable oil and diesel or other thinner, like gasoline. Nothing could be farther from the truth, so the graphic below from our friends at Utah Biodiesel Supply makes a quick explanation of what biodiesel is and how it’s made. Biodiesel is a direct substitute for diesel, no modifications to your vehicle is necessary. WVO conversions consist of a coolant heated fuel tank in addition to your (bio)diesel tank, and startup/shutdown on (bio)diesel to clean the veggie out of your fuel system between runs. You can learn more about Biodiesel and WVO systems at ESSN and Girl Mark’s www.localb100.com.
