VERY GOOD BIO DIESEL SITE WITH DIY ATTITUDE.

no other sort of attitude should be tolerated.

@neiallswheel

Graham has a good safe attitude. His way is much safer

[Metals999]

Not married are you Craiggy? One weird guy.

[MegaAlfie007]

TOO MUCH WORK!

Must Be A Better Way To Do This

I'll Think I Will Search For An Easier Way

This Is Totally NFG Way!

[ChristianKnight123]

@MegaAlfie007 This is the cheapo easy way . It maybe quicker with the right set up and maybe you can build a good set up with old milk vats or water heaters.

Good luck to you. If you have a sorce of around 20 - 40 litres a week. This shall get your car around town.

Your saying washed oil in your video

How did you wash it?



[ChristianKnight123]

@MegaAlfie007 To wash the oil put the hose in with the oil after you have separated the grissil which is the drain cleaner and methanol and heavy muck from the chips.Make sure the hose is on spray and wait about 10 seconds.

This looks like a lot of work!!!

[alexandrumit]

Hello, can you please tell me what concentration has the methanol you use? and if the 90% concentration is also good for the reaction. Cheers !

[ChristianKnight123]

I buy a drum of methanol I guess it is pure methanol.

I use 4 litres methanol per 20 litres used oil

[PopeOfEngland]

1) When you heat the oil, how long do you keep it heated at that temp (>50 or 60 deg F? or C?)?

2) Is Fuelite the same as methanol?

3) Is there a part three to this video/ When one washes a 2nd time, is that the usable biodiesel fuel?

Thanks!!!

[craigggy]

I just watched it and noticed it isn't finished. I dont know how I failed to complete the series, shall do this weekend if possible, sorry. Fuelite I do not know about.

50 C

Cheers.

[2gsath]

can u tell me what u are using to heat the oil and wer u got it please

[craigggy]

An element from a hot water cylinder.

From my brother .

You can purcghase them from a trades suppy shop you may have to have it speacially modified to plug in.

[twunt2000]

Cracking Howto Craiggy, nice one.

Thanks :)

[drfeelgood3333]

is the tritation necessary? I did not see you do that step.

[craigggy]

Only if you have your waste oil from a different places and the quality varies each time.

These measurements I were taught were given after titration results showed little variance.

If the oil from the top 8/tenths is used and the thick grissily sludge disguarded the oil should separate from the dark coloured grunge with no problem.

I have not tried Titration and wish I was taught an easy way to titrate.

Thanks on the comment

[fruitybud420]

thats right. makes bio diesel in fossil fuel containers.

[mk3stargazer]

wots he meant to use then?

[mk3stargazer]

hi, let me know if you get hold of white spirit, i hav just red that in australia its called naphtha. or shellite,white gas or colemans fuel? cheers

[craigggy]

I have bought one litre of Fuelite from a paint shop cost 9 dollars.

If ten % is the recommended add then this is easy if your really rich.

I shall try 5% in a 2 3 litre clear container.

[mk3stargazer]

blimey that is expensive,i found out in the USA it is called white gas. in the UK it works out to be around 6 Dollars for 4 litres, interesting tho, let me know how you get on

[craigggy]

I am determined to this week.

[craigggy]

With the methanol I paid $340 for 209 litres

thats near $1.40 per litre.

You advised 10%

Methanol is 20% Double $1.40 and you get $2.80

$6.00 minus $2.80 = $3.20

Thats $3.20 better per litre to carry on with methanol.

Cheers

[mk3stargazer]

interesting, as that is how i did mine until finding out about white spirit! so much easier you must try it!
