but you need to refine the oil before it can be used... you cant just dump that dirty oil inthe tank and drive on it... the is chemicals involved and what not... doyou have the machine that converts the oil into bio-diesel or do you have someone else do it... there is ways to make it on a small scale... but you can only make like 5 gals at a time like that... and it takes like half a day to do that....

she never mentioned bio-diesel. she just mentions vegetable oil. maybe its set up to run on SVO (straight vegetable oil)

From what I understand, and from what I saw on Extreme 4x4, it uses just filtered veggie oil.

Bio-Diesel is totally different

Correct Al. Just pour it though a pre filter first. A t-shirt works just fine.
Then pour it through a 5 or 8 micron filter and its good to go. Then there is another filter on the car obviously

SVO. I though I would never see that on this site, I'm running on WVO (Waste Vegetable Oil)

and when the filter clogs in the car it just robs power, so you can switch it back to diesel........... and change the filter in the car

bio diesel from what i understand involves some chemistry, figuring out what chemicals go where and that's why i chose WVO

Yeah bio diesel is made much like ethanol is. Its creating fuel from plant life or other organic material.

bio diesel is just as cool, its just a little more involved than i wanted to go

just got done cleaning and polishin'

a motor shot.... the two silver squares in the front are the fuel switches and the big circle filter looking thing next to motor is the grease filter (for you justin)

I was talking to my brother about this last night since he has been wanting to run WVO in his Ram. He said rather than running the separate fuel system, you can just mix the WVO 50/50 with diesel in your tank, and it would run fine on that.

I would think that you would need to worry about the temperature of the WVO, as that stuff doesn't flow well when it's cold.

Ever heard of this?

yes the stuff doesn't flow well when it is cold..... from what i see on the website you have heated fuel lines and a tank.... and the grease filter is heated by the antifreeze from the car

i have never heard of running 50/50..... and i never thought of it to tell you the truth.... i would have a problem with the temperature of the oil

wow cool.... i didnt even know about this... i thought you were just talking about bio-diesel, and yes there is alot involved in making bio my bro and his friend were gonna do it they bought the machine and everything and then the other kid bailed... the other kid paid for the machine tho.... but anyway... thats really neat good luck with it man...

That's really cool. This is very popular in Poland and other parts of Europe. I was talking with some guys I used to work with who have done this back home (Poland)

those tires are mounted backwards i do believe...
