Easy to Make 20 litres Bio Diesel Part 3

[mautiechic]

hello, may i ask you, how much does it cost per litre? My friend uses "biodiesel" too, but he uses only oil from the bakkey's , heatens that, filtre it a few times and then in the car. He drives an old mercedes, and when it is cold, he has a lot of problems (when he does not mix it with normal diesel.) And has to clean the filtre a lot times when he is driving.

@mautiechic About 50cents New Zealand per litre at the time of publication about a third of the price of diesel

Loooooooooooove this video! This is liberation. Love Craig's methodical and deliberate approach. Thanks sooooo much.

[hopalong142]

sniffed the fumes abit to much?

[tokedesmoke]

@hopalong142 hahahhaha couldnt have put it better myself lol

[OmnipotentPeaceMan]

Cool man that looks great,  bet it runs really well

[clongoram]

How long did it take you to do this all together?

[klondie12]

really enjoyed your presentation, your'e a good communicator- your'e obvious care and patience came through. i'm about to embark on bio diesel- so might need to ask you something! bless

[hateef]

can it be used in all type of diesel engines.

[ChristianKnight123]

@hateef Sure can

Hi, I like your video, I am from Serbia, Europe. Diesel here is very expensive, expecially here in my country. So, I just wanted to know if this kind of biodiesel can be used in any diesel engine? What kind of engine is in your Mitsubishi? I have a Citroen, 1.9 Turbo Diesel.

[fizzerpilot]

what a guy! you explained in this video with your bare hands what all the other video,s show you with machines! i salute you Sir for sharing your knowledge with us all here! great to watch you and kinda fun too:-) keep up the good work friend and thank you! Dave.

[mathewharris123]

Hi, great video by the way. Im from NZ too and I just cant seem to find one of those heaters you were using. Do you have any idea of where I could get one?

[craigggy]

@mathewharris123

Hi Mathew.

It is the standard water heater element converted to fit on the extention cord. Talk to any electrician to learn about water heater elements.

Cheers

[CandyLupher]

Wow, that's a nice video you've got there, it really helped.

excuse me but i want to ask a question.

what car did you use for this video?

[craigggy]

@CandyLupher

Mitsubishi_RVR

Diesel version

If you are using that much bio-diesel. Why not use a water heater for the reactor, centrifuges to preclean the oil and to separated the glycerine and you could try a bubble wash? Also you could add 1 ml sulfuric acid per liter of oil. This should help the Esterification of the oil. At the moment am trying to think of ways to automate the process so what. This has been a year long research project starting with your first video. Your way does work and I have tried it on a 5l scale.

@Gruurk2

Hi

Your way seems much better.

Unfortunately my source has run dry and opportunity is not smiling like the past.

I did purchase a small water heater but found the piping a nuisance

.

[Gruurk2]

@ChristianKnight123 I haven't built it yet. It's all from my studies from other people’s successes and failures. I wanted to know from craigggy if he has improved his process. I think he has way more experience then I do. And I was wanting to tap into some of that. Areas of my design that are weak on paper is the complete pre-oil cleaner and the wash drain water removal. Am still studying.

[craigggy]

Water always if separation occurs floats to the bottom. Ther intia;l separation using the methanol and Drain cleaner can leave a heavy sludge that requires hand or high presssure cleaning.

[Gruurk2]

@craigggy Sorry that the water heater reactor didn't work out for you. Am still looking for a way to automate most of this process. I know you an buy one of those press a button devices but I sort of like building it myself. Now one thing you didn't show in the vid was when you dry it. Now you can use a black LDPE container. Just open it a bit and let the sun dry it out.

@mathewharris123

Hi Mathew.

To purchase a drum try Orica

[neogovernment]

Very helpful and clear. Thank you very much and have a great and blessed day

[craigggy]

@neogovernment

Thanks

Biodiesel for dummies, through pump into the carrr :D . Tam kamil ya.

[leosedf]

What about my heating system at home? It works with diesel (petrol).

There is no injection on that one.

[taius20]

if you have a modern diesel car do not do this, im a mechanic and have replaced countless injectors and injection pumps due to bio diesel. the viscosity is far to thick for modern cars. even older rotary injection pumps can be damaged but the are a bit more robust. you really need inline fuel heaters to thin the biodiesel before it is used in the engine

[craigggy]

I have not had a problem though it does not get colder than 0 Celcius here.

I have an RVR Turbo mitzibishi.

The tubes I am told wear quicker as the refined biodeisel is corrosive.

Are you sure your customers were treating the oil through the phases I have outlined in my three videos.

?

Cheers and thanks on your input.

[taius20]

im not exactly sure of the process, but it was bought from a place in my town which specalized in making bio diesel so im pretty sure it was made correctly. you never know though

[Roversrocket]

From a post I saw on some forum It was mentioned that a bit of litmus paper might be used to make sure your ph level of the finished product is around neutral..(7.0) and that phosphoric acid could be used to neutralize any remaining caustic soda. Hope this helps.

[ChristianKnight123]

Yes . Right.

And any thing else that falls to the bottom of the bucket with a good wash.

Cheers

[leosedf]

You are heating it for the last time just to get rid the rest of the water inside of it?

Nice vids. :)

[alfredchetcuti]

very VERY INTERESTED.NICE JOB .ALFRED FROM MALTA EUROPE.

[craigggy]

tHANKS aLFRED GLAD TO HAVE BEEN A HELP

[PopeOfEngland]

craigggy:

Thanks for posting the third installment. you have done a wonderful job demonstrating the way to make biodiesel.

Your Holy Father,

The Pope

[craigggy]

thanks

[craigggy]

If I scaled up and had a greater source.

Makes good exercise and can be spread over a few days or just a couple of hours.

It's fun to drive around on free chip oil..

[nigel101]

Theres a guy in UK who makes his bio desial and sells it for like 20p a litre profit. Hes so popular he has a set number of cars cos he runs out. He makes it in those things you brew beer in . Looking at you this looks like ur ally lol. Looks like a lot of work though makin this.
