I realise that mostly no where else cooks in animal fats, but here is
Australia they use beef tallow. This has a very high beta carotene
levels due to the feed the animals eat, grass, this makes lovely
burgundy coloured biodiesel which like shorteneing has a higher cetane
rating due to the
Well if your Biodeisel is top notch, try a Peugeot 406 HDi Wagon for
size, common rail and it should work. I am going to buy a 307 HDi and
try it for size, not quite as big but modern styling, I would prefer
the 406 but you just cannot buy one second hand in Australia, no

Keith et al,
I cannot explian why it is so but a compression engine is not the same
as an ignition engine, meaning that in a diesel leaner means cooler,
richer means hotter.
So this may go to explaining a few things.
Also wear as a product of conbustion temperature is one thing,

thoughts are that I will have to remove the existing heating
elements
due to them being submerged in oil.
No, that

Do you do this by varying your input voltage/current, or by
attaching a big heat sink?
I do not need to alter voltage or current, the elements I use are
1800W but are over 2 metres in length and approx 1 cm wide. this makes
for an energy density of 1800 / (200 * 1 *
My 2 cents, put the electrical element horizonatlly, makes for better
convective heating than when its vertical.

Put it on the barrel just above the joint of the barrel to the cone.
And when heating your oil with a water heater element it's best to
heat
