Making own Biodiesel

By Peter Luc

Biodiesel, as an alternative fuel, has a number of benefits, but one of the biggest benefits is that that anyone can make Biodiesel at home. Let us imagine: Being able to produce your own fuel for your car or even power your entire home with the energy you created in your garage? That would translate into quite a lot of savings for you.

Making Biodiesel is not really that difficult of a process. It is great to get involved in making your own Biodiesel if you can because you get to save gas costs when you use home-made Biodiesel.

Biodiesel Supplies

Producing a small amount Biodiesel at home entails minimal requirements Actual ingredients are needed to produce a Biodiesel product alcohol, lye and vegetable oil substance. You have to prepare some supplies as inputs for mixing the fuel: empty plastic bottles, duct tape, a mixer and measuring cups. Be sure anything used for Biodiesel production is exclusively for that purpose and avoid using again for your cooking ingredients.

When supplies are ready, you are ready for your journey in learning on how to produce Biodiesel

Hazard Free Procedure

Making Biodiesel is a relatively safe process. Fire or explosion is remote to happen. In fact, the only major area of concern, as far as safety, inflicting burns to yourself due to flames. Make the temperature in your mixing procedure tolerable.

You will go through the easy process of making Biodiesel which involves blending the inputs, allowing it to settle, breaking up the byproduct and Biodiesel and then purifying the Biodiesel. The production process can take place in a few days or weeks. That depends on how clean your vegetable oil was to start with.

Low Volume or High Volume

Yields in Biodiesel production can be small scale or large scale. Biodiesel kits are great if you want to make a few gallons of Biodiesel at a time. If you regularly use your lawnmower or similar equipments then A Biodiesel kit makes sense. It is not difficult to use and will entail minimal inputs.

If your goal is to generate more production like for your automobile, tapping a processor makes sense. This makes the process super simple, so you can make more than a few gallons at a time. With a processor you will need some more supplies but you also spend lesser time in Biodiesel production since the processor does most of the work for you.
