Well motor oil that might be a possible fuel source on its own but i really wonder about the emissions from burning that. thye guy says no chemicals so your telling me that these plans just change the motor oil through mechanical means? im all fo rcheap alternative fuel source but i woder bout this one still. does this work with the synthetic oils you be getting too? i know from whta i have read that the synthetics are a no no to add to your diesel. i actually want to try putting in a quart or two but will first have to kill the kitty if you know what i mean.... as cummins doesnt recomend burning oil with it on there.

UPDATE!!!

I made a miniture and very rough version of the plans just to see if it would work....

It did! I did not run it very long >> but long enough to see that it would indeed work...

I am not trying to BS anyone... Here's the dude's website...
http://www.freediesel.com.au/Free%20Diesel.htm

I am going to build the big version next!

Oilguy,
I wanna see it when you're done with the larger version.
Will it work with oils that are synthetic? And oils that are contaminated with ATF, brake fluid, etc...?

Mikey > not sure about the Syn's or Atf/BF... I will email the guy and see what the do's and don'ts are.
And Iker... I just let it go long enough to convince myself that it was not a bunch of bullpoo....

Like I said at the start of this thread... I did sign a confidentiality agreement not to say anything about the construction/concept details and I am going to honor that... But I will tell you that it appears to work, So I don't think I wasted my money. I just appreciate someone out there who is smart enough to design this thing and not try to rip everyone off to find out how to built it!

If you read through the site he explains it pretty good without getting into details... It is not straining oil with coffee filters or anything crazy at all... I found it and wanted to let everyone on this forum know about it and that from my experiments with a crudely built model... It Worked! Took about 1 hour to get it to work.
I was looking for a BioDiesel Plant on Ebay and found his listing. He was asking $79.99 AU which equals $61.00 US and he had 100% good feedback from everyone that bought from him so I am not the only one out there that this worked for.
