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?

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** · April 4th, 2006 05:27 AM

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...

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.

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...

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.
