What is so amazing about this technology is that any type of animal fat or vegetable oil can be used to make biodiesel. New regulations have provided for almost zero sulfur dioxide content in biodiesels.
Although there are many alternative sources of fuels that are emerging in the market, biodiesel is winning votes and creating quite a following. The process of homemade biodiesel production is similar to making soap. Fuel-grade biodiesel must be produced to strict industry specifications in order to insure proper performance.
Water accelerates microbe colonies which shorten the life cycle of the paper filter elements that result in premature failure of the fuel pump. In the process they discovered that just about any kind of vegetable or animal oil that we use to cook with today can be processed into biodiesel fuel. Bio-diesel reduces carbon emissions.
With better gas mileage, lower emissions, and the use of renewable, domestic sources, the upsides actually make biofuel cars a greener option than even hybrids. When you make the biodiesel yourself the average saving is more than fifty percent.
