Dear friends,
I’ve heard of biodiesel but think it’s a bunch of hogwash? I heard about people doing this at home and I wondered if it was true?
It took some time to read it. This is a real life Big Johnny story about free fuel for your (diesel) car or truck.
FIRST… JUMP TO ADIESEL-ENGINE
Before you can use biodiesel, you need a car (or truck) with a diesel engine. If you’re in the market to buy a new car: get a fuel-efficient diesel.
Several years ago, Big Johnny migrated from Los Angeles, trips, showers, and all that spilled out; I will enjoy the calm sown fields of perennials and summer storms (Dorothy, where are you?). When I arrived, he was setting up a dining room bed – we bought a Mark VII Lincoln from my friend Alia – and with the size and appetite of the oil tank they arrived, which got about 12 miles to the gallon. He gave me a warm ride through the country while I drove here. But soon after arriving, the old moose cart soon became a feature of the Easter Seals Auto-Donation program and I was left. as the proud owner of a car I had been tracking and desiring for years: a VW Jetta with a diesel engine. II.
Why with DIESEL??? (and other silly questions
Ask more of these questions:
“Doesn’t the kid smell when he takes your hands?” Yes, he smells. That’s why many gas stations provide those see-through plastic gloves to carry when fueling up. Next silly question!
“Isn’t it valuable for children?” Perhaps. Do the math. A few months ago, it used to cost anywhere from 5% to 20% more than regular gasoline. Now, with the mid-summer gasoline price hike of 2007, it’s the other way around. When you consider a small diesel car upwards of 45-50 mpg IN TOWN< /b>< /a> (even though it looks like a maniac) you get an average – 30% to 300% increase in mileage per gallon efficiency. Most SUVs get about 20 mpg. This means my Jetta delivers more than twice (a 200% increase) as many miles per gallon of gasoline. Maybe it’s more expensive, yes – but do the math. It’s worth more up-front because it’s actually saving money delivered in miles. on your wheels
“Aren’t diesels slow?” From the start they don’t accelerate as fast as gas cars. But how many are there actually for race car drivers, huh? One: diesels have loads of torque. Try towing a heavy load or running a diesel on a steep slope against a gasoline car. In a sad time before the course of life.
“Why diesel?” The answer is very simple: NO! No spark plugs. No spark plug wires. No electric coil. No points. There is no time to keep. No tune-ups. On and on… a diesel generally has 30% fewer moving parts than a gasoline engine. Break less. Less food. Easier to fix. Also, a gasoline engine usually wears out around 100,000-150,000 miles. Diesel? Try 300,000-500,000 miles. No small squeezein’s!
So…
SOY – NOT WITHOUT A RESTAURANT
After hearing about biodiesel, my friends will remind me of the sound of “bio-diesel” and how happy I was to hear that someone from the public class is running on 20% soy oil (this veggie oil is part of the “bio” diesel). The municipality found that the bus systems were lighter, had better mileage, and provided a reduced seal in exhaust pollutants. AND the oil he used is locally grown soybean oil — keeping the economy in the neighborhood.
NEXT… BUILD YOUR OWN FACTORY!
A little later I read here: I found (for most diesel engines) on the shelf you can immediately use veggie oil. I went to Sam’s Club and bought a 5 gallon bottle and threw it in the tank. Great job! So… I went underground and experimented in creating my own biodiesel using RECYCLED VEGETABLE OIL.
Yep folks, we’re talking about a free food restaurant.
The concept became a reality and here it is… a picture of my ugly roommate (SEE PICTURE #1), which takes up an amazing small space< /a> in one of my rooms.
He will not pay rent to this man at the cost of saving…
How to do this?
STEP 1) Pick up the Yum-yuk oil. I go to Chinatown in Pladamo village twice a month and collect loads of the used brown, smelly, goopy, fryer oil Mr. Wang uses to cook the yummy egg. rolls. DELICIOUS! They give it to me for free. Mr. Wang’s beloved wife, Mrs. Zhang, smiles happily as she waves goodbye while I drive away the precious juice: she smiles cuz she doesn’t have to pay for the oil protest team to pull out and drag this slop.
STEP 2) Cleaning the oil chemically. I take the oil and put it through a cloth in the top of the 55 gallon mixing tank (see item 2 in TABLE 1), then dip < a href="https://e-info.vn /tag/hot-water-heaters">hot water heater element (item 1) in the cellar for about 3 hours to heat up to 120 degrees. Turn it on cordless by hand on drill the heart with the hand (item 9). Then I open the valve (item 3) and mix the hose into the bottom of another tank (item 4), which filters out the sediment (to 10 microns) and also purifies the oil chemically. The oil (no longer smelly anymore after chemical purification) exits through another pipe (item 5).
The oil at this stage is chemically purified by glycerol, but it is still dirty with food residue particles that quickly slow down the fuel filter. . So follows a simple yet high-tech solution: a small pressure-driven centrifugal machine… (SEE PICTURE #3)

What is the device at home…
STEP 3) I remove the fuel from the oil. I recycle all the oil into the mixed tank (2) drain the pump and open the valve (6) to run the oil through two pumps (7) into the oil ram part at regular air pressure ( 8) an industrial-grade centrifuge (9), which was originally intended for use under the hood of Mack trucks. A centrifugal turbine (one of the parts on the wooden board) which subjects the oil to forces of about 2000 G, typically spins out all the dirt particles down to about 1/10 of a micron. The centrifuge processed all 55 quarts in 1/2 hour, and collected the dirt from the hopper, which is like the manure that my buddy is holding up here.
After the oil comes out the centrifuge… Oila! Free food for Skippy! And it goes in the lake!
QUESTIONS OF BEHAVIOR
“Is not burning veggie bad oil for your car?” Reply me: look up “Rudolf Diesel” (the inventor) on the Internet and you will find the first diesel engine designed to run on veggie oil… Go to the Internet and see that over 70,000 people (or more, already) are doing this all over the world.
“Isn’t this equipment expensive?” Is it and without? I offered a lot – about $1300 – for everything. BUT…
This is a great incentive to do everything because they deliver medicine to the sick in every state. And so they envy more than five hundred thousand. That’s about 111 gallons of fuel per month – which is at least $300 dollars per month (at the time of writing) if I bought all my fuel at the pump. No small savings!!!
Considering I can run 100% RECYCLED veggie oil through the car this summer, this tool pays for itself in 4 months as soon as possible. After all, I drive all those miles it’s like getting $300 in cash every month! And the more these crazy fuel prices go up, the more save fuel value dollars are not spent.
MORE THINGS
* Great for the environment: Recycled veggie oil yields an overall 80% reduction in toxic pollutants. The fuel is also led for your engine: so the car is lighter, quieter. Higher ignition point: delivers more power in most engines than regular diesels = better mileage. Locally grown: Most of this waste oil is grown from soybeans or other seed stock in the USA.
* Winter cold: Unfortunately, biodiesel must be tempered with solvent during the winter because it will last. Some people do a 50/50 mix with real diesel. But hey, half price isn’t bad either! I use 5% paint thinner and this seems to keep the food from freezing to about 0°F. . No, I don’t use anything hot.
* Fun For the Geek in the Family: If you’re into science and you’re a mechanical geek, it’s all fun to do!
* Enhanced social life: Makes great conversations and picks up lines in bars.
* Help Ronald sell more burgers: Smoke smokes like fries (or egg rolls when you get oil from a Chinese restaurant), and everyone thinks McDonald’s is nearby.
* Bukawwk! Research has found that beef and chicken fat can also be used. Chicken manufacturer Tyson sells all of its chicken fat to a biodiesel producer.
* Ummm, that green one in your tank: Biodiesel may soon be made from algae.
* If you are a Leo: You and your car will be great friends.
So take it from Big Johnny:
Yes, you can make your own free food! Go with biodiesel!
