good day! hindi ba sabi dati hindi tataas ang presyo nang diesel pag na implement na ang biodiesel act? baket bigla tumataas ang mga presyo nila? just wonderin kung sasabihin nanaman nang mga gas companies na tumaas ang per barrel sa pandaigdigan merkado...

Totoo namang tumaas ang presyo ng krudo sa merkado. Dito po makikita ang mga graph:

Tingnan na lang yung presyo nung mid-March, masmataas talaga ngayon.

Yung 1% biodiesel mandate, nung May 6 pa nandiyan na, pero last week lang nagsimula ang pagtaas ng presyo di lang ng diesel, pati na rin ng gas at lpg. Wala namang kinalaman ang gas at lpg sa biodiesel di ba?

unfortunately sobra tayong dependent sa imported fuel kaya konting movement sa world market price affected tayo. Hopefully we will continue to develop indigenous fuel. Long term pero wala naman worth having na minadali di ba?

meron na bang tsikoteers na biodiesel homebrewer? sa US kasi mukhang buhay na buhay ang homebrewing ng biodiesel at kanya kanya pa cla ng design ng processor. galing nga puro improvised lang.

sa journey to forever website dami information on how to do your own biodiesel.

I've been trying out Diesel Kleene, so far the car has been accelerating faster and less visible smoke at idle sa stoplight. The one I got is the grey bottle, not the white one. I'm sure biodiesel should work just the same! Since malayo yung biodiesel pumps dito that's my next viable alternative muna...

since using the b1 power diesel of caltex (3 tankloads already), i am now able to travel around 700-710 kms on a tankful of diesel, unlike before a tankful get me to around 630-640 kms. so from 11 kms/li its now up by 1 km/li. which is very good indeed.

btw-mix driving (city and hiway, although lately its more traffic since slex is being rehabilitated)

sir, may reply na ako dun sa kabilang thread na sinimulan ko. i'm thinking of becoming a homebrewer too to gain the experience.

anyway, should the thread i started be merged here?

Since na implement last May ang 1% biodiesel (I had 2 tankfulls palang) from Petron, naging smooth yung makina and parang hindi na sakal ang takbo. Kaso im still getting crappy mileage, the same I got nung wala pang biodiesel blend.Around 230 to 250 kms a tank ( 70 liters,pure short distance city driving)
