hi everyone. A couple of questions for going straight veggie
oil.thanks
in advance!
1) would i need a fuel filter pre-heater if i filter the oil
around 25
microns that i put in the 2nd tank.(doesn't the coolant hose keep it
warm enough to not need this? )
I filter my fat down to 5

Andrew,
You could try washing your oil as we do for biodiesel and let it
settle for a couple of days.
This would allow the solids to drop to the bottom.
Final filtering (10 microns) could be done prior to use.

Filtering water from diesel is usually done using the principle that
water is heavier. My fuel filter has a glass bowl underneath it with
a bleed off screw to catch and drain off any water. My tarctors also
have water bleed offs on the fuel filters.

Vegetable oil yields (approx.)
: Biodiesel yield = oil yield x 0.8 approx.
: Crop - kg/ha - litre/ha - lb/acre - USgal/acre
:
: soybean - 375 - 446 - 335 - 48
: rapeseed - 1000 - 1190 - 893 - 127

So, if I read this right, you can grow 1000kg of rapeseed on 1 ha of
land and then you can get
Has anyone out there got any good ideas on an effective method for
filtering used cooking fat. I run my car on straight heated fat but I
regularly clog up my fuel filter. I currently get my fat from fast
food outlets, then sieve it, and filter it twice through cloth. This
is a slow messy
Have a look here, simple analogue solution.

Generally it is cheaper and far simpler to just buy your power off
the grid as you don't have much capital layout. Unless you factor in
environmental concerns. Here in Australia, most states now have a
buyback scheme where your meter will run backwards when you have
excess power but this only
I was looking at installing a generator system. I have a VERY old
water cooled horizontal, slow reving diesel engine. I believe these
were originally designed to run on diesel or straight oil. Is it
possible to just get old cooking oil from the local greasy spoon,
filter it well and feed this
