Reinhard,
you make a persuasive argument and have me
rethinking my current biodiesel efforts. do you or
others have experience with burning SVO in a home
heating oil burner,for domestic heat and hot water?
my other observation is that here in the USA our
winters are usually much more
Hello Roger,
I don't have personal experience with the oil in the burner of heating systems.
I am occupied with the use of plant oil in a small family stove for cooking
purposes.
During the preparation of the burner project it was clear, that SVO can be used
without any problems in heating

The proviso is critical, and in many cases it's context-sensitive - I
believe this is the case with the biodiesel vs SVO argument. In the
end it boils down to a matter of

response. i will research the matter further and

Could someone post some info about experiences using biodiesel or SVO for home
heating oil? I know that this topic has probably been covered in the past, but
it doesn't get as much attention as the use of biodiesel in vehicles does and
as I don't use home heating oil I haven't been paying

If you want to get biodiesel for them, we can help. You should also consider
putting in Dipetane to make it pour a little better, reduce the consumption
and reduce NOx.

Hi Darren.
About your question of the use of veg oils in a 2 stroke engine, I go to
the far end of little 2 strokes engines (2 - 30 milliliter).
It is commoly use Refined Castor Oil (ricinus communis) as the lubricant
for a 2 stroke engines used in small radio controlled hobby airplanes with

Here in Australia we have NatHERS (National Housing energy rating system).
Every new house must pass a star rating system similar to appliances.
Depending on the area you need say 3.5 stars to 5 star rating.
