All About Biodiesel - Homemade Biodiesel

All About: How to Make Homemade Biodiesel
By Chris John Wright

Biodiesel is the name of a clean burning alternative fuel, created from domestic, renewable resources.It contains no petroleum, but can be mixed at any level with petroleum diesel to produce a Biodiesel blend. This alternative fuel is simple to use, biodegradable, nontoxic, and basically free of sulphur and aromatics.

Biodiesel is made through a chemical process called transesterification whereby the glycerin is separated from the fat or vegetable oil. The process leaves behind two products -- methyl esters and glycerin.

But why Biodiesel I here you cry?

Well, it has numerous advantages that make it the number one choice for the majority of people seeking alternative fuels

Biodiesel comes ready to go with no expensive adjustments to be made to your engine you just pour it straight into your existing diesel engine.

It's completely bio-degradable and non-toxic which makes it more environment friendly it also has far less noxious emissions than regular petrol or diesel engine about 60% less net carbon dioxide emissions than petroleum-based diesel

Your engine will last longer with Biodiesel because as well as being a good lubricant Biodiesel acts as a solvent and cleans out the contaminants and dirt left by fossil diesel in your engine which also provides a lot less engine noise pollution than a regular diesel engine.

Production costs at domestic level work out at approximately 24 cents per litre plus the cost of your oil. If you collect your own from local burger joint, cafes or restaurants (currently they have to pay people to take it away) you could get it for free. If you buy in recycled oil, there are good reputable waste oil dealers throughout the country and your total production costs per litre should not exceed about 70 cents, substantially cheaper than fossil diesel!

Just to sum it up, Biodiesel is cleaner, cheaper and more importantly environment friendly so if you would like to read more info on how to make homemade Biodiesel click on the link below.

The content you have provided is pretty interesting and useful and I will surely take note of the point you have made in the blog.

I was browsing the Internet a few days back for some genuine automotive products that could increase my vehicle performance and restore its lost power. I came across this site power enhancer and bought the BG 44K fuel system and engine cleaner. With this I have noticed an improvement in my engine power and also reduced engine noise. I got this product at a good discount here and its great value for money.

I thought this information might be useful for anyone looking to improve their vehicle performance and restore the lost power and MPG.
