CONVERT TO BIODIESEL FOR A MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY RIDE

Inside, you'll find step-by-step instructions accompanied by helpful illustrations for such projects as building and properly using a homemade biodiesel reactor, which enables you to drive you car on vegetable oil purchased at a fraction of the price of gas or even on second-hand oil obtained from restaurants free of charge.

Projects include:

  • Collecting waste oil
  • Building a waste-oil processor

  • Constructing heat exchangers

* History and functions of the diesel engine * Benefits of biofuel * Where to obtain raw ingredients * Theory of fuel conversion * Existing conversion kits o Blends, emulsions, and thinners * Processing and discarding waste oil * Laws and regulations * Green retail o Health and safety * Limitations of environmental benefits
