Where do you get the Veg from?

And you could get one of these (I really like how this looks although it would be possible to make your own too), YouTube - Cleaning waste vegetable oil with Dieselcraft centrifuge

This will remove particles all the way down to below 1 micron.

Greetings - First post to this forum - but not new to bio - I have been using it in my Nissan Patrol 4.2 TDI for 2 years now - no probs at all -- I source my oil from fish and chip shops - I get my Methanol from a race fuel supplier ( buy in 200 Litre drums) and my caustic i get from work as i work in chemical industry

If you handy with a welder - you can basically start up with a good system for about $200

i have just bought a 99 model freelander 2 l turbo diesel -- do you know if you can run bio in these ???

apparently there is some bloke in the states that claims to make a fuel from sump oil, but the energy it would put out would be poor, i would stick to used veg oil mate

hi, I once did a job skills job in agroforestry, in the mid 1990's. Instead of buying expensive chain bar oil for his chainsaw bars my boss used sump oil. He had 7 chainsaws he kept going with workers owning some others of their own. He had a series of drums connected to filter the oil, least 3 of them. In the system the oil ran over a magnet to remove magnetic particles. [not all metal is magnetic.] It went in very dirty and came out fairly clean though still black in color. through the system took about three weeks. leaky rings on car gives lots of black smoke so it would need to be well refined to use as fuel. but metal particles can be removed. Sorry Ido not have more info on this. Years ago when I was young a company "Mar-refine" [not sure of spelling] refined dirty used sump oil to be reused as nice clean cheap sump oil. Not sure how they refined it though, and it may have been by distilation. Petrol and deisel comes from distilation of crude oil.
