Der Nister Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 Or should I say, start using cooking oil - in our cars. Or just my car. In case anyone else wants to save money I found this Fuel recipe. I'm doing other reseach on it but would appreciate it if anyone finds out other info to please post it here. I'm gonna go to a friends car dealership and see about getting another car a.s.a.p., one that runs on bio fuel diesel. I've lost my patience with the oil companies.
Der Nister Posted April 30, 2008 Author Posted April 30, 2008 Many vegetable oils have similar fuel properties to diesel fuel, except for higher viscosity and lower oxidative stability. If these differences can be overcome, vegetable oil may substitute for #2 Diesel fuel, most significantly as engine fuel or home heating oil. For engines designed to burn #2 diesel fuel, the viscosity of vegetable oil must be lowered to allow for proper atomization of fuel, otherwise incomplete combustion and carbon build up will ultimately damage the engine. Many enthusiasts refer to vegetable oil used as fuel as waste vegetable oil (WVO) if it is oil that was discarded from a restaurant or straight vegetable oil (SVO) or pure plant oil (PPO) to distinguish it from biodiesel.
