My biodiesel processor

[canieto1]

Great system! Was that a 6.0 or a 7.3 psd? How many miles have you been running it on B100? Any problems? clogged filers? injector issues?

[FlaAlfa]

do you have a good source for me to read more about the system you have utilized? I am unfamiliar with the washing process.

[vegoilrecycler]

@FlaAlfa - I encourage you to take a look at the forum for home made biodiesel. search google for biodiesel and infopop.

Could you please tell me how your heater is set up for the washing and drying process. (the inline heater)

[mathewharris123]

very interested in the inline heater your using. Where can you get them? or did you make it?

i hear that bidiesel doesn't work will in the winter

[vegoilrecycler]

@thegreatkoua - Depends on how cold your winter gets. Commercially blended biodiesel or even home-blended biodiesel should do fine. Some guys blend their bio at a strength of 20%bio to 80%petro to keep it thin enough.  No sense in leaving yourself stranded.

Wonderful engineering sir!

@GmotoVT - Thank you for the kind comment.

Just wondering what kind of supplier do you get your methanol from?

[vegoilrecycler]

Smiley's race shop in Garland, TX is a supplier of hot rod parts and all kinds of racing fuel. A race shop might be a good place to start.

Thank you for the generous comments.  For me, biodiesel evolved from a small chemistry experiment to a part-time hobby. I use biodiesel to supplement my petrodiesel consumption when prices were above $4.00 in the summer of 2008. With prices today at $2.25, its less about saving money and more about renewable energy.

In the future, I hope to create a system has a larger capacity and takes advantage of automation equipment. For now, this will fill my needs AND be my lab.

great craftsmanship. i wish my processor looked as neat and tidy as yours!!

[vegoilrecycler]

Thanks for the compliment. I probably put an unnecessary amount of energy into making it look clean. I do that sometimes. I've seen more basic setups that look nasty, produce equal quality fuel.

Yours is a processor's processor! Distills-recycles the wash-water, clean efficent- does it shine floors?(lol) I'm in Jax,FL- do you sell your glycerine? Id like to see this & you in action-Great works-excellent vidi. Thanks so much. The Best to you & yours.

[vegoilrecycler]

Thank you. It distills leftover methanol from biodiesel, which makes removing excess lye even easier. I hope to add more videos soon.

[SpencahD]

@vegoilrecycler You have done very well, I have an idea for you, I can make methanol and I have a use for lye... there are no wastes... anyways I also am able to assist in automation, I don't charge a thing and we can sign a non disclosure if you are seeking to market this, otherwise please get ahold of me through Facebook or Gmail

Looks like fun!

@SpencahD - There's nothing here that hasn't been done better by others. If you're wanting to get involved in the biodiesel community, start looking around here:

@SpencahD - search for the forum with these keywords: infopop, biodiesel

Great Job! I am interested where you get most of your info if you don't mind.

Nice work.
