Guys, I posted this over at the D4D Engine Woes thread on how biodiesel addresses the harmful effects of low-sulfur diesel.

If you have time, these are good reading:
http://www.mbm.net.au/b100/lsd.html
http://usapc.army.mil/miscellaneous/Lubricity.doc
http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_stana.html

The US is ahead of Europe in low-sulfur diesel implementation. Euro III (0.05% sulfur content in diesel was mandated in the US way back in 1993 while Europe mandated this in 1999, sa pinas, I think in 2004).

Biodiesel is an internationally recognized solution for fuel pump failures caused by low-sulfur diesel. When using low-sulfur diesel, "use B100 as a 2~5% additive". This is in the first link above.

I know all of us on this thread are already biodiesel advocates, and there's no need to convince you guys further on the benefits of using biodiesel.

thanks sa info bro altec and jaeger. The choking problem of my Innova came back again after Toyota reset the ECU. I didn't try loading BD on my Innova ever since, I planned before but nagkataon na lumabas yung D4D problems. But now, I agree to you both about the help of Lubricity on the pump spring. I probably be blending 2% lang since bago pa lang yung sasakyan. I stay here in Laguna, where can I purchased BD near our place?

I don't know if this has been posted but you guys may want to check out this site:

They sell a kit so you can make your own biodiesel at home. You can get used vegetable oil from any fastfood place(it's used for making fries) to make biodiesel. The leftover product can also be used in manufacturing soap. I was thinking of getting one of the machines and ship it to the Philippines since my father-in-law has a diesel truck so we can just make it at home and possibly sell the biodiesel. Do you guys think this is a good idea to do in the Philippines as a business and what kind of govt. BS do I have to go through?

Why would you want to make your own biodiesel? Would you make your own whiskey or beer?

[garyq]

madmax: pwede rin coz BD is not as easily available as whiskey or beer. The price of BD from WVO is also at the most half of the present price of BD from virgin coco oil

Would you really want to take a chance putting a homebrew BD into your precious car? Di ba may namamatay sa homebrew whiskey?

[Flagg]

Wow, napa-bilib po me...

Sir garyq, pede po magtanong what happened sa senbel? OK pa ba sila? Also, re your homebrew, OK ba? (got tons of WVO eh...)

Sir altec, what do you mean by "prime mover"? Tractor heads or power plants?

I love this thread! :inlove:

Btw, tumahimik na ata si richmnd...

[redorange]

Madmax,

Well why wouldn't you use a homebrew biodiesel if it cost 50% less per liter. FYI people in the states do make homebrew beer which is alot of times better than what you can buy, I have two friends that make it in their basement, so your analogy would be wrong. Homebrew biodiesel has been in use here and Europe for several years already and they fill the tank with it and not just a few liters mixed with the regular diesel. Also, it's a way to recycle the used oil from the fastfood restaurants instead of using new oil and converting to biodiesel since the concept of biodiesel is to lessen enviromental impact and lower cost.

[MadMax]

redorange: Good luck in your venture! I do believe that technically you have to be certified with DOE (Dept of Energy) before you can sell any fuel...

[jaeger]

On the net, most of the homebrew BD made in the US and in Europe are for heating oil (for winter, homes have a small boiler in their basement and steam-radiators in every room) and for older farm agricultural tractors.

Nevertheless, I'm still impressed at the complete fuelmeister setup (thanks to the link redorange) -

Sana may end-product testing kit para ma-measure yung free glycerine and free fatty-acid content para may peace-of-mind before we load it into our fuel tank.

Homebrew BD - I'd use it for non CRDI engines. Mas-tighter and exacting ang tolerances ng CRDI (i.e. mas maselan sa fuel quality).

Patulong tayo kay rsnald, sya yung resident BD chemist natin dito sa thread. I think he already made some homebrew last year, 'til naubusan sya ng oil feedstock.

[HardCharger]

Hi All!

I'm actually meeting the local dealer of the FuelMeister tomorrow here in QC.

Usually, this set up is for personal use but can with the capacity to do some small scale selling.

You can use the oil from fast food chains. You can recycle the oil so it ends up in your tank and not in the sewers where they contribute to pollution. Not to mention you can use the by-product in a lot of ways.

There are ways to tailor your biodiesel "recipe" to meet all existing standards or at least come close depending on some elements. It will take some work though.

You can try reading "From the Fryer to the Fuel Tank" by Joshua Tickell. This is one of the items that introduced me to the world of biodiesel.

Hope this helps.

[altec]

flagg, tractor heads, yung humihila ng trailers, comes in either 6 wheelers or 10 wheelers.

I have a friend who also made his own biodiesel making equipment, kasi he is into stainless steel fabrication. He said it cost him estimate P25-30/liter direct cost to produce BD100, but without inputting the overhead cost which would be significant. Small scale kasi eh. He loaded the pure BD into his canter. But he did it only with one full load. Di ko pa siya natanong kung tinuloy ba niya. But he was all praises with the performance. I asked him di ba nasira yung mga seals, rubbers, and gaskets, wala man daw tulo. Ok, isang load pa naman.

It can be done, but I don't think it will be cheaper than the ones you buy commercially, except if you use recycled containers so you don't include its cost, and the overhead, like the owner and staff's supervision, and include direct labor's idle time, in between na walang production. But if the purpose is to save the environment, go ahead! Just be sure you do it properly and take out the glycerine and other impurities or else you will experience what I went through with one of the branded BD.

[Leroy Brown]

magkano kaya production cost assuming equipment is good for 5 years?
