Terry,
Well I used to make the stuff, (I used it some years ago for that BMW
stationary engine) and it is
nothing more than warming the mixture up so it becomes more liquid.
Then you pour in meths,until the clycerin starts so seprate.You the need
to syphon of the thick,sticky stuff, What is left is biodiesel.
The amount of meths,depends on the quality and the composition of the
oil,and needs to be tried out first (in a jar or testtube or the like...)
You also need to make a modification in the fuel line; the ordinary
rubber (or whatever they use) disolves from the biodiesel,so you need to
put in a different kind of fuel line.
It is also not wise to mix regular diesel with this type of biostuff,
as the two ,when mixed, make a sort of gummy sludge that blocks the fuel
line...
It can be colored with food dies,(here commercial biodiesel is green I
think)as to keep the cash in your pocket,instead of the wallet of the
Beloved Tony....
I have never tried it on a road vehicle, but I was told, that the
biostuff is gentle for the engine(it made the Beemer motor purr like a
kitten),and the usage is a bit higher...
It is true, that if you do not filter all the bits and much out before
you start, that your motor will stink like a BBQ on heat...
but if one works carefully and do things the correct way, the smell is
not bad.
I have a booklet somewhere, with the exact procedure (in German) wich I
will try to find over the weekend and translate the essentials....
