Biodiesel??
Q. What are the advantages and true costs of making biodiesel? Is it better than staying with diesel or gasonline? Information on getting started making homemade biodiesel?? Thanks!

A. Palm oil is at around 55$ per barrel. If you consider that biodiesel from palm oil processing is more cheap than diesel from crude oil(about 1 $/gallon) then it's surely cheap to buy biodiesel from a biodiesel producer...

How do I convert my diesel to biodiesel?
Q. I have a 1998 24 valve cummins trubo diesel truck, and I was wondering what do we need to replace to have the truck run on biodiesel. I have heard that this model may need replacement of the fuel pump, but im not sure what kind of fuel pump I would need. I am planning on using 100% rather than the lower blends, or filtered vegitable oil

A. If you are using an older vehicle, other than changing the fuel lines and changing the filter if it clogs(which it most likely will, then never again) you don't need to make any changes. If your using a new vehicle then your already good to go. When changing the hoses, use synthetic material, not rubber, the biodiesel will eat away at rubber, but not synthetic material.

Does biodiesel travel longer distances compared to diesel or regular gasoline?
Q. For example: If you put 1 litre of biodiesel, 1 litre of diesel, and 1 litre of regular gasoline, which one would last the longest? How long will it travel? Please give accurate numbers if possible. I will really appreciate it !!! =D

A. i would imagine the regular diesel because they get better mpgs than the gasoline counterpart in the same car and because biodiesel produces less energy (btu). hard numbers i don't know, sorry.

How much does it cost to make your own biodiesel for fuel? Is it difficult?
Q. I've seen stories about the do-it-yourself kits to make your own biodiesel fuel. Are they expensive to start up or maintain? Is it difficult to produce your own biodiesel? Should I forget attempting this?

A. I remember reading about a distillery you can buy, it was around 2000, and yes the chemicals involved if you try yourself are hard to get, you need knowledge of titration to make sure that you get the right fuel properties, and you must declare it (UK Government at least). All in all it's a bit long winded. Just use pure vegetable oil, some manufacturers warrant this in thier cars. The best one is a VW TDI engine (VW, Seat, Skoda and Audi - all modern diesels), all warranted for use with pure plant oil.

A. Hmmm... watermelon juice is essentially sugar-water. Diesel fuels are oil-based. Tough proposition. You'd be better off fermenting the sugar to ethanol (like they do with corn and sugar cane) and powering vehicles with ethanol. For very large-scale use, growing sugar cane in the tropics seems to be a good option. Brazil is powering much of their country this way. Turns out, using corn to do this is horribly inefficient and a terrible idea. I can't imagine watermelon would work better than using corn. But maybe if you have thousands of gallons of spare watermelon juice, you might be able to make a small ethanol factory worthwhile. Of course, you'd be running an alcohol distillery.

Asked by caribbean turtle - Sun Dec 20 12:07:16 2009 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments
A. biodiesel made from rapeseed oil gives back about 3 times the energy it takes to grow and process (3:1). this is better than corn ethanol, which is 1:1 or less, but still not wonderful. oil from algae promises much better returns, but is not yet in production. biomass burning has same efficiency as burning oil, it depends on the design of the power plant. burning waste like woodchip or commercial rubbish gives 'something for nothing', but growing an energy crop might give 15:1 for wood, or much less for a crop that needed fertilising.

A. If could ask around at restaurants and see if they can give you some, you could also just buy a lot of vegetable oil from the supermarket although after you've paid the fuel taxes it probably won't be any cheaper than what you can get from the pump (yes, you do have to pay tax on biodiesel you make yourself, that means filling in extra forms, if you don't you can be charged).

A. The down side is the resources to make biodiesel actually cost more per gallon. Waste fry oil is free but it's not always easy to make premium diesel from it. And biodiesel doesn't work well in cold weather(gelling) unless mixed with petroldiesel. But it lubricates better than petroleum and if you have your own farm and could grow sunflowers, which are the easiest resource to grow and press for oil, along with collecting waste oil from local diners...you can save $$$ not to mention cleanliness and mpg. In cold weather some have rigged smaller fuel tanks with heaters, which I am looking into.

Find buyers who will buy small amounts to begin with to generate income. 4. Stay small as possible for awhile. This will make it interesting to investors with it showing a slowly growing positive net income. 5. Use any profits to invest back into your product. Making a large profit right away may look good just coming out college, but will not do you any good in the long run. I wish you well in your endeavour .

A. Biodiesel has better lubricating properties and much higher cetane ratings than today's lower sulfur diesel fuels. Biodiesel addition reduces fuel system wear, and in low levels in high pressure systems increases the life of the fuel injection equipment that relies on the fuel for its lubrication. Depending on the engine, this might include high pressure injection pumps, pump injectors (also called unit injectors) and fuel injectors. Older diesel Mercedes are popular for running on biodiesel. The calorific value of biodiesel is about 37.27 MJ/L. This is 9% lower than regular Number 2 petrodiesel.

A. Ethanol is produced from corn in the USA. Corn is a food plant. By removing some corn harvest from the food market, corn prices jumped. To replace the lost corn, other countries had to cut down tropical rain forests to grow crops. The lost forest reduces the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed from the atmosphere, worsening global warming. In sum, it is a bad idea to convert corn into ethanol. However, the idea of biofuel is fundamentally a good one, if we can convert inedible plant material, such as plant stems, leaves, wood chips etc., into fuel.

The result is that most of the power generated is lost due to simple counter forces applied to the crankshaft of the vehicle. The end result is that you get about a 25% eefficiency from those… [cont.]
