Making Biodiesel Fuel
It seems like an environmentally friendly gift from
above - making your own biodiesel fuel. With recent fuel
price hikes, and the growing awareness that we need to
do something about the amount of fossil fuels being
used, it seems like a great idea to replace them with
biodiesel. But while it's becoming more common to see
promotions for making your own biodiesel fuel, there are
a few things you need to think about before you go
ahead.
Firstly, what is biodiesel fuel? Basically, it's fuel
made from either animal fats, vegetable oils, or a
combination of both. The most common choice is usually
straight vegetable oil, often referred to as SVO. While
making your own biodiesel at home sounds like a great
idea, the reality is that very few households use enough
vegetable oil or animal fat to supply a big enough
quantity of raw product. It's almost impossible for you
to use enough raw product at home to keep up with your
motor vehicle fuel needs.
That's why some companies have decided to search for
bigger quantities of raw product. As a result, they're
working with bakeries, restaurants and other businesses
that use deep fryers, collecting their used oil and
recycling it. Once the oils are blended they can be made
into biodiesel fuel. It's still the same process you
would use if you wanted to make biodiesel fuel at home,
but because these companies have access to a much larger
amount of raw product, they can produce biodiesel on a
scale that makes it more viable.
Of course, it's not as simple as just taking the
vegetable oil, waving a magic wand over it and you have
biodiesel. It needs to be mixed and stored, and that can
be a logistical nightmare once you have a larger amount
of raw product. Plus, to make biodiesel from waste
vegetable oil, you have to de-water it, filter it and
then de-acidify it.
Still, if you're only interested in producing small
quantities of biodiesel, it certainly can be done at
home. Most households use around 600 gallons of gas a
year. Prices vary, but you could expect to pay at least
$1700. If you could produce the equivalent amount of
biodiesel, you would pay about one quarter of that. Plus
you'd know you were helping the environment.
Starting with clean raw products, rather than using
waste oils, makes it easier, because there's no need to
store or "clean" the raw product. Even though the clean
raw product costs more, you can still save a substantial
amount over buying gas. Plus you're doing the
environment a favor, which is always good. So if you're
interested in making your own biodiesel fuel, give it a
go. Your pocketbook and the environment will thank you.
