Veggie Oil Fuel Home Processing Plant - Filtering

[wiliminawinstar]

can you send me a list to start my own filter station, all the items i will need to pump from cite and to bring home and filter? thanks!!! IM VERY INTERESTED!!

[smellslikefries]

It's not difficult. Get some filters, get a stand, pour. Nothing magic, just think it through for yourself.

[julescicle]

@smellslikefries yep learn it as you go i am doing the same thing right now

[wiliminawinstar]

do you have a kit you bought for your car to run the fuel? or something you made? did you heat fuel lines and what not? thanks for your help

[smellslikefries]

lye and meta alchohol.

[smellslikefries]

methol alcohol - Wood Alcohol - Methanol.

[gtr2222]

So filtering and that's it? Why do some use lye as an additive? And or other chemicals?

[smellslikefries]

To make biodiesel, you add Lye and Methenol in the proper amounts, heat the whole mess up to about 60C (70C will ignite the methenol) mix it for a few hours and let it settle.

But I don't use BioDiesel. I installed a kit in my car that lets me burn streight veggie oil.

If I remember correctly the "journey to forever" site says just letting the oil settle for a couple of weeks is just as effective as filtering. What do you think? Thanks for the videos!

General opinions out there are that website is not to be trusted for anything more than its political messages. These opinions can be found at the mega-forum biodiesel-dot-infopop-dot-cc.

How many trees does it take to make these filter bags?

You can't win!

[smellslikefries]

Heh. Witty, but wrong. If the filters were made of wood product, 1 tree could make filters to process over 1M litres of oil. The energy multiplication would justify cutting down a tree. Nothing's free, but you can ceretainly "win".

[smellslikefries]

Oh, and the filterbags are made of polypropelyne (PP) - the same plastic that goes into nalgyne bottles and baby bottles. Bisphenol-A and all that. PP plastic is a by-product of oil refinement. 1 barrel of crude would make enough filters to process about as much oil as 1 tree. Except 1 tree can grow back in 30 years, oil is more like 300,000,000 years. :|
