25 Responses to “Mythbusters – Cooking Oil as Economical Diesel Fuel”
gents, im not reading throu 209 posts, but here goes: you need to dewater your oil too. probably more important than filtering. filter to 5 microns or less. these guys, probably for the sake of time and dramatic effect, made it sound too easy. want to ruin your beloved diesel? do what these guys did in this video
Hi Be careful using this in older cars, it cleans out the rust and crap out of your fuel tank and clogs up the fuel filter, they have been selling this stuff here filtered and approved for use in Great Britain for about 8 years, the trouble people have had with their cars and claims that have been put forward has killed the sale of it over here now.
BE WARNED
Is best to do titration method, if you keep on using SWO what ever fats will clog the lines and ***** up your Injector pump, you could do a SWO but you have to purge your injector system with diesel purge every 6-12 months…
Wait and see what that barely filtered Biofuel does to your 20 year old fuel injection pump and injectors. Can you say throw money away in overhauling a fuel system?
I do contribute. I recycle and try to do community service etc etc. I read alot on the global warming. If we continue at the rate of birth were going, which is about a baby ever 2 sec which by 2050 about 9 billion, things will be crazy. Medicine is getting better so that ppl get older. Also by 2050ish social security is going to start to become shaky. Its gonna b shaky, but yea i do agree with you. We gotta all contribute to find a solution to this problem.
well how about YOU lay YOUR life down for everyone else..help cull the population. You speak
absolute DRIVEL.
we live in an age of ABUNDANCE and there is MORE THAN ENOUGH to go around. Why dont you get off you BUM change your attitude and CONTRIBUTE??????
The uss emission towards global warming we eat too much and theres still too much of us we eat too much beef that it contributes to global warming cows.
This is false, the analysis is based on corn which really isn’t a good source of biodiesel anyway. But the fact is that it NOT true that their will be land or food shortages, this is OPEC and oil interest propoganda. Read independent analysis.
Don’t know about the US, but over here ‘biodiesel’ is always a mixture of regular diesel and biofuel, with a much greater proportion of regular diesel. A lot of modern diesels won’t run on straight vegetable oil anyway, though the older ones will just fine. Growing fuel won’t solve any problems, only push up food prices due to land being used for fuel instead.
Sorry, it is propoganda that growing biodiesel will use vast quantities of farmland. Brazil fuels 80% of all its autos using only aa small 5 of its land. USA could easily do the same. Don’t believe the bull. Biodiesel is renewable and will/should become ubiqutous
Yeah, the older diesels are about as simple as a combustion engine can get- mechanical fuel injection, no electronic gizmos etc and will run (just about) on almost anything that they can ignite by compression. The modern ones are a bit more picky as to their fuel requirements though

The current specs on the diesel engine may not be tuned towards the use the diesel orginally designed the engine to run on the use the engine.

So, to defeat the NWO, all we need is a little EVOO.

heh, yah also in colder climates the biodiesel gels up in the fuel lines, BUT i think the point is that it is viable.

did you prefilter to about 5 microns? if you dident, you deserve a clogged fuel filter

I had a car that ran on used cooking oil. Whole thing smelled like french fries, and it was constantly getting clogged as hell.

So does that mean they’re going to be charging more for the Big Mac at Macdonald’s?
