Darren, what a find...a really exciting report.
This oil is nothing more than cold pressed and well filtered oil (5um).
NO degumming .
My understanding of de-centralised oil production in Germany (from
German friends) is that it is very simple (KISS principle...Keep It
Simple Stupid) and is
Darren, as per the ACREVO report, 9%. Make sure you use ethanol not
methanol. The methanol will break from the emulsion and sit happily in a
seperate layer within an hour. Whereas the ethanol will stay in emulsion.
I'm not sure about the cetane improver or the peroxide (eg I don't have

As far as solid resultsno. Yes as per ACREVO report, 9% ethanol
emulsified into the vege oil. I found the fuel excellent and it burned
cleaned at the exhaust. Talking to a couple of other fellas, they also
have tried it and it worked well, but they did caution that some fuel
G'day Steven
Did you get any solid results with the ethanol blend - any tests done
on the motor or emissions? I presume you were using ACREVO's 9% of
95% ethanol?
Good news that you've been having success with crude canola,
undegummed. I hope you'll monitor it closely so that the beginnings
Steven,
Nice to hear some first hand experiences.
What ratio was your ethanol/SVO emulsion and what engine is in your Ute?
What would be the tax implications for you if you added a cetane
improver such as 2-ethyl hexyl nitrate, a suitable fat based nitrate or
a suitable peroxide - ditertiary
G'day all
I thought it was time for me to chip in on this one, as this a real
focus of interest, and is one of the few ways you can legally use a
renewable fuel in Australia without excise obligations.
I am a farmer in Australia who own his own (allbeit small) oil expeller
