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....

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

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.

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

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)
