Biodiesel Rulez!!! [ARCHIVED]

[RafRaf]

sabi nung senbel distributor dito sa cavite sa makati pa daw niya kinukuha stock niya... alam niyo kaya kung saan sa makati? palagay ko meron na siya patong kaya P90/liter ang benta niya... baka masmura kung diretso sa makati kukuha.

The Makati Distributor of Senbel is :

SHARKI'S INC.
Room 2J TAL Bldg.
Dian corner Edison St.
Makati City

Tel. 844-1643 / 819-0793

This is where I get my Senbel Estrol biodiesel - only P66/li. and the 20-li. carbouys go for P1,200.

Jaeger, the bottle that you shook, do you still have it? Baka natunaw dahil sa hard mixing that you did? . . . .

I'm pretty sure natunaw because of my hard mixing. Since I thought it was of no harm anymore, I also poured it into my fuel tank (Everest), sayang kasi itapon e.

On my 2nd full tank with my Everest, I used B2.8 blend (I put in 2-li. biodiesel in 71-li. full tank). I can notice the improvement vs. B1.4 blend (i.e. using only 1-li. per full tank) particularly during hard acceleration - mas smoother pa lalo and no grinding sounds nor vibration nor engine strain during hard acceleration.

Is there a law of diminishing returns kaya?, that after some peak blend point or saturation point, the improvements don't get that noticeable anymore?

Baka sa Sharky's, try mo tawagan na lang, I still know the location but forgot the exact address, eto yung phone no. 8441643 or 8440979.

Napost na pala ni Jaeger ang complete details ng Sharki's.

thanks guys... found out na sa JC Care in Makati siya kumukuha. binalikan ko ulit yung link na post ko some time back and found some more likely senbel distributors that I can try... siguro tawag-tawagan ko muna sila kapag lumuwas kami sa Mandaluyong (long distance kasi kung sa Cavite).

I saw this on cableTV while vacationing here in the U.S. (Trucks! on the SPIKE TV NETWORK) and the TV segment showcased a company selling a personal biodiesel production system. Compared to diesel prices at the gas stations they showed how economical it was to use this system on a long term basis. You can see the details of the device here: http://www.biodieselsolutions.com/pr...uelmeister.asp



Do you guys think this would be a good investment for, say a group of diesel enthusiasts to use instead of purchasing biodiesel from the two local producers? I'm just not sure if there would be a readily available source of vegetable oil from the restaurants to be able to produce a regular supply of biodiesel.

Also, I realized that with the rise in oil prices even the American hardcore truck enthusiasts are exploring other ways of minimizing their fuel expenses. We've known about biodiesel in the Philippines for several years now but the Americans are just beginning to appreciate it because of the rising oil prices. The TV segment even showed pure biodiesel being used on a 2001 Dodge full-sized, diesel pickup truck(?) and showing how superior it was to petroleum-based diesel fuel in terms of power and fuel efficiency (they even showed the truck doing a burnout of it's rear tires and how little smoke it emitted). They didn't discuss though what effects pure biodiesel would have on their rubber fuel lines and other such effects previously discussed in this thread.

been thinking of using bio-diesel.. but aside from clean smoke.. is there a fuel efficiency gained on using bio-diesel?

thanks..

your fuel is burnt more efficiently (nothing wasted during combustion vs not having biodiesel), that's why you have cleaner exhaust.

but did you actually gain extra mileage and does it compensate vis-a-vis the cost? meaning is it worth it? tnx mga sir

[czar_ethan]

anu difference nung BioActiv from senbel? Is that the biodiesel itself?
nu mas advisable? I use this product o use na lng ung pre-blende ng flying v?
