Are any of you guys here running bio diesel or making your own?? If you are how much bs is really involved in making it? I was thinking about making it but I dont really know if it is worth it.

 

Just started running it again. No prob. The only reason I quit before it was quite abit more than #2 Now it's a bit less. Jethrro

 

There is actually a dedicated forum to this subject located under "General Discussion" but here is the link to it https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...play.php?f=110

If you already looked here sorry. I just thought you might be able to get a good answer there or find the exact answer for you already posted.

 

i make my own and i think its worth it my cost comes out to be 0.70 a gal
it takes a while to learn to do it but its really not that hard if you get good oil to start with if you get bad oil then its another story if i can awnser any questions you have i will try thanks

 

you have to watch it with bio some of the guys here in maryland have had problems with fuel pumps not wanting to push it up to the injector pump. so they are losing fuel pressure

 

I have everything all set up to make my fuel but I just dont have the time.

Once you understand what your doing and get all setup then it should be a real money saver, esp. with #2 at $3.49 a gallon.

I would do some checking first, make sure you can get methanol and sodium hydroxide somewhere, and also make sure you can get some wasteoil from someone, there are a lot of people making fuel so a source of oil may be hard to find.

My procesor is an appleseed like these ones:

I like this site, if you havent checked it out already. also try the biodiesel dr. pepper style in a 2-litter bottle, it will teach anyone the basics of processing to understand just what happens.

I like the fuel, so does the truck, she ran real quiet and smooth, there was a def. change. Realy it is a simple process I think anyone here could do with no problems. But please read the safety stuff and use caution, it is important.
