Biodiesel Dewatering Filter for 55 gallon drums Vegetable oil, Black Diesel, WVO, fuel oilDrop one of these filters in while your oil settles and then just pull out the water!

This is a water removing filter designed To sit at the bottom of a 55 gallon drum. It will absorb the water as it settles to the bottom of your supply of vegetable oil or black diesel preventing it from entering your engine. It uses a special SuperAbsorbant Polymer crystal that won’t absorb your oil but loves to drink the water. The Polymer will absorb up to 60 times its volume in water along with the impurities carried by water. This filter will not absorb vegetable oils, animal fats or petroleum oils. The cloth that contains the Superabsorbent Polymers is a moisture wicking cloth that will collect the water and hold it while the Polymers absorb it. The filter has a steel rebar frame that serves to keep the filters shape and weigh the filter down. As the filter absorbs the water, it will swell up and retain the moisture in a gel form. It will not release the water into the oil.The filter has the means to attach a piece of rope to ease removal while there is still oil in the drum. This filter is reusable and only needs to be cleaned and dried (directions are included). It can then be returned to service and will have an expected life of up to two years. The included pictures show how this product works. The first picture is a sample of straight vegetable oil and a sample of black diesel, both with a small Polymer filter in the bottom. It will not absorb the oil. The next picture shows a large amount of water introduced to both samples. (a coin was used to keep the filter from floating to the top of the water level) The third picture shows the swollen filters removed from the now dry samples along with the water.

How Biodiesel and Diesel Differ

 

Many people have heard the term biodiesel recently, and are wondering what it is exactly and if it is different from regular diesel fuel.

Diesel from oil consists of a combination of paraffin and cyclo-paraffin hydrocarbons. The combustion of this oil and air in normal engines creates residual smoke particles of varying dimensions. It also typically contains a high content of sulphur and produces chemicals that are known to exist in acid rain as they form sulfuric acid.

Biodiesel is actually a type of diesel fuel that is made out of chemically-reacting lipids such as vegetable oil and/or animal fat. It is usually made by combining the oil and fat with some type of alcohol. The product is designed to be used as a fuel in standard types of diesel engines. This makes it different from waste and vegetable oils that are utilized in converted diesel engines. You can use biodiesel on its own, as well as a blend with petro diesel.

Biodiesel is a golden or dark brown liquid form that is immiscible with water. It has a high boiling point and low vapour pressure. The flash point of biodiesel is quite a bit higher than petroleum diesel and gasoline. The fuel has almost no sulphur in it and is often added to Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel.

In most countries, a B factor is used to indicate how much biodiesel there is in a fuel mix. For example, a fuel that has 25 per cent biodiesel in it is known as B25. Pure biodiesel is named B100. Blends that mix 20 per cent biodiesel along with 80 per cent petroleum diesel can typically be utilized in unmodified types of diesel engines. You can also use pure biodiesel, but this may lead to some engine modifications in order to prevent performance and maintenance issues. Pure and blended biodiesel may be utilized with petroleum diesel at any rate of blend in the majority of injection pump diesel engines. However, some high pressure rail engines possess strict limits on the levels. Biodiesel differs from petro diesel as it possesses different solvent properties, and it will erode the natural rubber hoses and gaskets in most vehicles produced before 1992.

Biodiesel has also been reported to break down residue deposits in any fuel lines in which petro diesel have been used. This may lead to clogged fuel filters if a quick switch to 100 per cent biodiesel is made. If you switch to biodiesel, it is suggested to switch fuel filters on heaters and engines soon after changing to a biodiesel mixture.

One of the most popular features of biodiesel is the fact it can cut down on the direct tailpipe-emission of particulates on some vehicles when compared to fossil-sourced diesel. Biodiesel possesses a higher cetane rating than petro diesel. This can lead to improved performance and cleaner emissions compared to crude petro diesel.

Most biodiesel is produced in Europe. It is also used in railway trains and aircrafts and is also useful as a heating fuel. In the coming years, we may see biodiesel become one of the most popular forms of fuel on the planet.

Not Your Daddy’s Diesel: Your Grandpa’s Biodiesel

 

Tired of high gas prices? Want to save the earth? Want to support local economies and clean the air while getting high performance out of your vehicle? Try Biodiesel. It’s clean, sustainable, domestic, renewable AND you can make it at home!!! Wave farewell to petroleum.

Amidst the hybrid hype, there has been little mention of one of the oldest ‘alternative’ fuels with some tremendous advantages. Invented and patented by Rudolf Diesel in 1893, diesel engines were first made to run on various vegetable oils. Thus, almost any diesel engine outfitted with the right hoses is capable of cleaner, vegan, non-petroleum based Biodiesel operation. (Most newer diesels have the right hoses).

Diesels have tremendous advantages. Although their pricepoint can be somewhat higher initially, it’s well worth it in the long run. Diesel engines are well known for their consistent reliability, length of engine life, and perhaps most importantly, their fuel economy. In our ever-growing awareness of planetary resources and taking geopolitical circumstances into account, fuel economy is beginning to take a place of primacy.

When running on biodiesel, there are tremendous emissions benefits as well. Traditional dinosaur-diesel powered engines have gotten a bad rap for their dark, smoky exhaust, smell and pollution of our air. Biodiesel, on the other hand, reduces emissions significantly in every category in which pollutants are measured except nitrous oxide (NOx) which can be adjusted with some slight modifications. Unlike their petroleum powered counterparts, biodiesel exhaust smells pleasantly like the feedstock of whatever vegetable oil is used. (There are tales of people who have used recycled fryer oil for their biodiesel from their local doughnut shop and subsequently end up with visions of Krispy Kreme.)

Performance wise, biodiesel has a higher lubricity than conventional diesel, subsequently acting as a bit of an ‘enema’ for the engine, cleaning out the dinosaur residue, so be sure and replace the fuel filter after the first couple of tanks of biodiesel. After that, because biodiesel is so clean burning, it actually may reduce maintenance costs and extend engine life.

Europe, which has traditionally been more diesel-heavy than the US, (currently diesels occupy about 40 % of the European market) has recently increased its emissions standards and subsequently the use of biodiesel has taken off in a big way. Europeans are supporting the growth of the biodiesel industry through farming subsidies of biodiesel feedstocks unknown in the US until this week when Oregon introduced a similar bill in their State Legislature.

Another tremendous advantage of Biodiesel is its blend-ability. Biodiesel can be used straight (called B100) or blended in any percentage with conventional #2 diesel, and even at low percentages (B5 or B10) has incredible emissions benefits. Subsequently, if you’re out traveling and don’t have access to homemade or storebought biodiesel, you can use regular diesel in your tank with no conversion issues.

There are an ever-growing number of biodiesel filling stations available if you don’t have space or interest in making your own. Check with [http://www.biodiesel.org] for more information of what’s available in your area. For more biodiesel resources see http://www.EcoNurse.com.

On a personal note, I’ve been running my VW Jetta TDI (Turbo Diesel Injection) on Biodiesel (mostly B100) for the last three years with only good things to say. It’s been trouble-free and now it’s actually pleasant to have the sunroof open. And if your outdated ideas suggest that diesels compromise performance or speed, feel free to sniff my doughnuts

Biodiesel Verses Diesel

 

With the current damage being done to the environment it only makes sense that we need a better way to operate vehicles without the use of fossil fuels. It is always a good idea to take a look of all the possible options available to us in order to break down the advantages and disadvantages of using each of them. Biodiesel is just another great alternative that might allow drivers to turn their backs on regular diesel and other forms of fossil fuels. The first step in making a real change is to learn as much as you can about the alternatives. Getting informed and educated is the first step in understanding the problem and solving it.

Biodiesel is an all natural fuel source. Biodiesel does not come from fossil fuels in any way. Instead, it is derived from natural sources like vegetable oil or animal fat. It can be burned just as it is on its own or it can be blended with regular diesel in order to make it cleaner burning. Biodiesel should not be mistaken for vegetable oil like that found in restaurants. Biodiesel is obtained in a different way. With the rise of environmental concern and pollution, biodiesel is something worth considering.

Since biodiesel became a viable fuel source it has been used in various things like trains and even aircrafts. Chrysler even released one of their Jeep models in the year 2005 with biodiesel capabilities. Biodiesel is such a fantastic resource that it can even be used to heat homes or businesses. Regular diesel does not have as good of lubricating qualities as biodiesel does. This can directly affect the wear on the engine. The use of biodiesel will actually increase engine lifespan and reduce wear and tear.

There are many benefits to the use of biodiesel. The most obvious one is the reduction in emissions from vehicles that pump toxins into the earth’s atmosphere. Going green and finding natural resources is one of the driving forces for many people when they consider such a thing as biodiesel. Studies have shown that biodiesel performs quite well in comparison to regular fossil fuels in terms of things like horsepower and driving ability. Biodiesel also tends to be more efficient than other natural resources like ethanol. Since it is safe to transport as well as to store and it works well, there really is no reason not to be using it.

Of course, there are some disadvantages to using biodiesel like with any other resource. It does cost money to transport and store it. Also, a lot of land space is required for the production of biodiesel. Some places just do not have enough land space to spare. Another disadvantage might be the fact the biodiesel does not work as well in places with colder temperatures. This might limit consumers that live in colder locations. It is quite obvious that biodiesel as a fuel source has both good and bad qualities. With further investigation, perhaps it will be a great option for consumers.

Biodiesel, Fight The Diesel Prices

 

Using biodiesel in your diesel engine is one way to fight rising diesel prices. The idea is that the higher the blend of biodiesel that you use in your engine, the more money you will save per gallon on fuel.

Biodiesel is the name for a variety of ester-based oxygenated fuels made from soybean oil or other vegetable oils or animal fats. The concept of using vegetable oil as a fuel dates back to 1895 when Dr. Rudolf Diesel developed the vegetable oil fueled engine. Diesel demonstrated his engine at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1900. He used peanut oil as fuel.

Today biodiesel is primarily made out of soy or canola oil. Buying biodiesel keeps diesel prices down and farmers in business! Biodiesel fuel is also good for the environment and reduces emissions as much as 80%.

Owners of vehicles with diesel engines can use biodiesel fuel without having to make engine modifications. Some hoses may need to be changed however because vegetable oil degrades certain types of rubber. If you go to the website of the national biodiesel board you can find plenty of information about where to buy biodiesel in your area. The national biodiesel board also has an interactive map that allows you to locate pumps with low diesel prices in your area.

If you’re feeling really adventurous, you can make your own biofuel from used vegetable oil, which is available for free at most restaurants. You can either purchase a small production system or make your own biodiesel to add to your diesel engine by mixing up a few chemicals in a blender.

You can also fight diesel prices by converted your car into a SVO (straight vegetable oil engine. In essence these kits, called grease car kits allow you to build a small processor inside your car engine that heats and processes the oil so that it becomes biodiesel. A heating element, thermostat and special rubber hoses that cannot be damaged by vegetable oil are components of this kind of kit. Water heater processors help recovering excess methanol that is created during the chemical reaction that creates biodiesel. This cuts the cost per gallon for diesel even further.

Usually these types of converters cost anywhere from $249 to $3,000.00. Like most products, you get what you pay for. However if you install one that is effective you can fight rising diesel prices and make your own fuel for as little as .70 per gallon!

Biodiesel – Environmentally Friendly Diesel

 

By now, I think we all realize that the burning of fossil fuels has increased our greenhouse gas emissions significantly. Greenhouse gas emissions have led to global warming which threatens our planet. Greenhouse gases have caused the Earth’s temperature to continue to rise. This has resulted in glaciers melting which has caused our oceans and sea levels to rise considerably.

These climate changes have adversely affected people, plants, and animals. Greenhouse gases are emitted as a result of the energy we use by driving and using electricity. To preserve our planet we must reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. One way we can reduce our greenhouse gas emissions is by using biodiesel.

Biodiesel fuel is a clean burning alternative fuel that comes from domestic, renewable resources. It is locally grown, processed, and distributed. Biodiesel is a natural and renewable domestic fuel alternative that is designed for use in diesel engines. Biodiesel is made from vegetable oils, mostly soy and corn. It contains no petroleum, is safe, and biodegradable.

Currently fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas provide most of our energy supply. Fossil fuels are not renewable and once they are gone they are gone forever. That’s why it is so important for us to start relying on alternative fuel sources that are renewable.

Biodiesel is widely thought to be the fuel of the future. Biodiesel does not contain oil, but petroleum can be mixed to generate a biodiesel blend. The most common blend is B20 (20 percent biodiesel and 80 percent diesel) that can be used in various vehicles. Pure biodiesel (B100) fuel though, can just be used in diesel engines.

Biodiesel can be used in its unaltered form in diesel engines which makes biodiesel one of the easiest alternative fuels to use. Biodiesel burns clean which lessens its environmental impact. It significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions and toxic air pollutants. Biodiesel is carbon neutral and does not contribute to climate change. It is the only alternative fuel that has been approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Biodiesel is better for the environment because it is made from renewable resources and has lower emissions compared to petroleum diesel. It is less toxic and biodegrades very quickly. Since it is made in the USA from renewable resources such as soybeans, its use decreases our dependence on foreign oil and contributes to our own economy.

One of the best and most effective ways we can help the environment is to stop using fossil fuels. Renewable and alternative energy technologies offer many options to do just that. We can do this even on a personal basis. There are many options for individual home owners to replace conventional grid power with greener technology, biodiesel fuel and save money while doing it. As a matter of fact they can even make you money. For more information,please have a look at our new book “Renewable Energy Explained.” You can find the link in the resources section below.
