Making Bio Diesel
Bio diesel is not a new concept it has been around for quite some time, it is largely the idea of using oils such as vegetable oil and canola to power a diesel vehicle. This is not really a strange concept since the first diesel engine was not made to run on our modern day fossil fuels, but instead was run on peanut oil.
Diesel motors do not require the same refined process that is used with modern cars, this in mind diesel engines are not designed for smooth high powered running either, they are more like the draft horse of engines, and will generally last a lot longer than a normal car motor.
Many people who make bio diesel themselves use either used cooking oils or grow crops of canola, and crush it to get oil. Ideally if you have the acreage to grow a crop of canola this is the best method as you are getting clean oil to begin making bio diesel so no time will be wanted in the process of cleaning it. Although used oil from fish and chip shops is just as effective provided that you clean and drain it properly the end result is just as good.
There are many different methods available for making Bio Diesel, A simple one that I have found uses the following ingredients: used cooking oil, Methanol, Sodium Hydroxide. Please note that this procedure is risky and I do not recommend making biodiesel without further research of the process, these are just general guidelines of the making process, if you wish to actually make your own bio diesel please consult expert companies or professionals.
Note that the oil must be heated and drained twice to ensure that you have got all of the muck out of it, if you don't take the time to do this you will block up your fuel filters. It is advisable to begin with a test batch of bio diesel, this is easily done by using kitchen scales and a blender, with a ratio of 6 grams of sodium Methoxide to 1 liter of cooking oil. This measurement is only a guide that is why you do a test batch, to find out the exact calculation that will be required to make a larger batch.
Heat the oil, add the Methoxide solution and mix this in the blender, and let the mixture stand to settle. If the test batch is successful you will see that the glycerin has sunk to the bottom of the mix once settled, Glycerine looks black, and sinks to the bottom of the blender, but the bio diesel will be an amberish color and will float to the top. This means you have separated the mixture and changed the molecular structure of the oil, it can never revert back to its original status again.
Once you have your calculations correct you can start mixing bigger batches, You will then need to make up a plant for handling larger amounts of oil. There are blue prints of designs all over the internet, they vary in design, just as much as the recipe for bio diesel does! Find one that you feel is easy to make and understand.
On a final note, be sure that you always test the oil first as once you have began the process you cant change your formula. So take care to make sure that all of your calculations are correct before trying to make larger batches. When working with Methanol and Sodium Hydroxide be very careful to take safety precautions to protect yourself from burns, or injury.

Bio-Diesel Additiv 200 ml $9.95 Stabilisiert Bio-Diesel schützt vor Korrosion sorgt für Sauberhaltung des Einspritzsystems reicht für 200 Liter Biodiesel (RME). Die Wirkung: Biodiesel ist eine umweltfreundliche und vollwertige Alternative zum mineralölbasierten Dieselkraftstoff. Allerdings können aufgru dder geringeren Oxidationsstabilität verstärkte Verkokungen der Kolben und der Ein-/Auslassventile auftreten, die den Kraftstoffverbrauch erhöhen und die Motorleistung senken. Eine erhöhte Aufnahmefähigkeit des Bio-Diesel für Wasser kann Korrosion im Tankbereich wie auch mikrobiellen (auch Pilz-)Befall begünstigen und die Betriebssicherheit des gesamten Kraftstoffsystems gefährden. Das Ergebnis: Bio-Diesel Additiv enthält: Oxidationsstabilisatoren zur Stabilisierung des Biodiesel über lange Zeit und bei extremen Beanspruchungen (thermische Belastung, Teillastbetrieb) Korrosionsinhibitoren zum Schutz der metallischen Oberflächen - aber auch zur Verhinderung katalytischer Zersetzungseffekte Detergents zur Sauberhaltung der Ein- und Auslasskanäle sowie des Kolbens und zum Schutz vor Ablagerungen. Die Vorzüge auf einen Blick: schützt vor Korrosion der metallischen Oberflchen und sorgt somit für die Betriebssicherheit des gesamten Kraftstoffsystems hält Einspritzdüsen, einspritzpumpen und das gesamte Kraftstoffsystem sauber, beugt neuen Ablagerungen vor und sorgt für die volle Funktionstüchtigkeit des Einspritzsystems. Senkt somit Kraftstoffverbrauch und sorgt für erhöhte Motorleistung sichert besseren Kaltstart durch saubere Einspritzaggregate, eine umweltentlastende Verbrennung und erhöhte Betriebssicherheit schont den Motor, verringert das Nageln durch optimierte Einspritzung. Inhalt 200 ml. |

Gasoline, Diesel, and Ethanol Biofuels from Grasses and Plants $86.79 The world is currently faced with two significant problems: fossil fuel depletion and environmental degradation, which are continuously being exacerbated due to increasing global energy consumption. As a substitute for petroleum, renewable fuels have been receiving increasing attention due a variety of environmental, economic, and societal benefits. The first-generation biofuels ethanol from sugar or corn and biodiesel from vegetable oils are already on the market. The goal of this book is to introduce readers to second-generation biofuels obtained from non-food biomass, such as forest residue, agricultural residue, switch grass, corn stover, waste wood, municipal solid wastes, and so on. Various technologies are discussed, including cellulosic ethanol, biomass gasification, synthesis of diesel and gasoline, bio-crude by hydrothermal liquefaction, bio-oil by fast pyrolysis, and the upgradation of biofuel. This book strives to serve as a comprehensive document presenting various technological pathways and environmental and economic issues related to biofuels. |

LUBEGARD Bio/Tech Engine Protectant (15 oz.) $12.95 When you start your engine in the morning, it runs for up to 60 seconds on the oil film left from the night before. Scientific studies in operating engines have shown that the wear rates are close to 50 times greater during starting than during running. LUBEGARD Bio/Tech Engine Protectant has unique patented LXE (liquid wax esters) additives that help improve the protection of the oil film against wear start after start, as well as reducing friction and wear when the engine is running. Lowering friction within the engine restores lost energy to you in the form of improved gas mileage and higher performance when you need it most. When added to your oil (either gas or diesel engines), this exclusive technology creates a superior high performance lubricant, for use in all internal combustion engines, that has been proven by the world's top testing facilities, auto mechanics and racing professionals to out perform all other lubricants known. Benefits: Eliminates harmful cold starts Reduces wear on metal parts Reduces engine temperature Increases thermal and oxidative stability of the oil which eliminates corrosion, varnish and sludge formation Increases overall performance Increases mileage Increases oil life Increases power Does not contain any potentially harmful ''chemical enhancers and/or metal treatments'' such as chlorinated hydrocarbons which turn into acids and attack metal parts, or any solid lubricants such as Teflon, graphite or molybdenum disulfide which clog filtration systems Note: This item cannot be shipped via 2nd Day Air |
