I do this all year with 3 different pizza places in town. I take their oil for free. (I personally know two of them) and it powers my Ford Excursion 6.0 powerstroke.
Now there's some myths about biodiesel... Many people think it renders you completely independent from fossil fuels. It doesn't. You still need regular diesel to be in the engine and all fuel lines upon startup and shutoff. Otherwise: the oil, although filtered and cleaned of all impurities: can still gelatinize in the fuel lines and clog up the valves rendering your car useless.
What I did was re-work the main fuel tank to hold 37 gallons of biodiesel.. and I have a smaller, 7.5 gallon tank of high-sulfer diesel.
Upon startup: the truck uses the regular diesel. Then after a few minutes, an aftermarket red light on my dashboard shuts off... meaning the veggie oil in my main tank is warm enough to flow freely through the lines. So I activate a switch on the dash (also aftermarket) and switch from diesel to biodiesel.
When I want to shut the engine off: I switch the fuel feed back to the regular diesel and wait about 5 minutes (it helps a lot if you know that you're 5 minutes away from your destination so you can just switch it then and there instead of having to idle for 5 minutes in the parking or your driveway)
After 5 minutes: your fuel lines should be flushed of the biodiesel and you can shut it off.
If your engine is off... so is the heating element in the veggie oil tank. So don't worry about it overheating and causing a fire. It doesn't get it anywhere near it's flash point anyways.
Hope this helps anyone looking to convert a diesel to biodiesel!
this is very helpful! So how much diesel do you need to use in the process (for example for 100 km)?
thanks!
could you just add a sulfate to your biodiesel, or take other measures to to stop it from becoming gelatinized?
@@jonathanballoch you can but the equipment you would need to properly mix it and do it right are very expensive to own and operate. It's cheaper to do the dual tanks like I did.
@@sonjadomitrovic9740 that all depends on what you drive and how you drive.
A VW Jetta is going to use a lot less than an F350 or Excursion. And it uses more fuel If you drive like Dale Earnhardt vs if you drive like my grandfather. Lol
Or just mix it like 60:40
This video should be titled "How to Filter Used Cooking Oil."
OR 'How to fuck the oil companies in the ass'
@@SenderBudYerGood 😂
@FishSticks Watch the documentary 'gashole', bio diesel is economical for everyone but big oil companies and people who live in northern climates. If we could find a way to keep it from partially solidifying in colder weather people living anywhere could use it. Not too mention it's sustainable and infinite.
@@SenderBudYerGood I thought it had to be like -20 to mess with it but wouldn't any kind of heater to the trick. Heater for the tank and fuel lines
@@SenderBudYerGood Even just a 10% mix of regular diesel or even low octane gas will help w/ that. Just keep a small sample outside & keep an eye on it.
Everyone can make biodiesel at home. You will need biodiesel processor ... what :D
Lol
Incomplete and A CRAP video
Deliberately made to put people off !
@@chessomar4197 with just these 6 simple things….
@@angiezavala2909
just use a clean cloth you don't use anymore to filter out things in the oil....
This is not a "how to make biodiesel" guide, this is an elaborate filtering guide. There's more that goes in to this, which is what I was looking for.
SERIOUSLY??? you missed half of the steps needed..... you didn't show any transesterification, lye addition, methanol, or any water washing. For shame.
Nothing comes with zero environmental costs. If you go with electric vehicles you will have to deal with the pollution coming from coal and natural gas derived electricity. If you get your electricity from a windmill you will have to deal with killed birds and bats. If you get it from hydro power you will have to deal with disrupted rivers. If you want to go with all natural transportation, i.e. horses you will have to deal with their form of pollution. No such thing as a free lunch. Perhaps a far less costly lunch.
To be fair at this stage you can already use the filtered oil for your car as long as it's an old diesel car and not the fuel injection ones.
The fuel is thicker than your regular diesel so replace your fuel pump into a heavy duty ones
@@Talltrees84 the windmill killing birds and bats gave me a chuckle haha
@@skylercooper5719 I lean toward electric vehicles from clean renewable energy. Lease a Chevy Volt, plug in hybrid. Only had to gas up 7 or 8 times since I've had it last 12 months.
@@Talltrees84 there are clean renewable ways to source electricity without harming the environment too much, we have damns that are necessary to protect towns that we could use more, wind mills don't really pose a threat to avian life, solar wouldn't be outlandish if we put more money into it. The thing is we cannot escape environmental hazards until we completely switch over. The energy it takes to mine, manufacturer and ship all of these products is going to have a huge footprint, and I think some people are put off by that. The world is approaching an energy purgatory, people are going to continue being stubborn until the market is forced to change and everyone will have to end up paying more for it.
At the beginning of the video, the title shown on the screen was "How to Prepare Used Cooking Oil for Biodiesel" which more accurately describes the video content. The complete production apparatus shown is an impressive setup which appears suitable for a personal, home, DIY setup. Looks like a good start to a "Biodiesel 101 Guide".
This video should be called: "How to waste 4:02 minutes of your life"
If I turned my backyard into a biodiesel production facility I'd get raided big time the police would think that it was a meth lab.
Walter White
This video is amazing. I am doing this biodiesel production in 4th year undergrad labs. This DIY video may not make sense for most people. But as a process engineer myself, I do respect what you have done.
Thanks! Glad you found it useful : )
Actually this video is trash. Does not show how to make biodiesel we just wasted our time. Fuck the piece of shit who made it.
umm where is the video to making bio diesel?
Anthony Pfeiffer Vegetable oil works in a diesel car. The vegetable oil he refines is the Biofuel. I'm not joking it actually works on a diesel car
Zym3x my XJ Jeep with 2.5 turbo diesel engine work perfect on pure sunflover oil! 😃
Ll
@Anthony I guess you could boil out the water and just pour it into your Mac truck but out if you it's your last day because that goop will fuck up the cilenoids
@@ghostunix731 Not necessarily, depends on what time of year it is & what climate you're in.
you mix the clean WVO half in half with diesel - works fine. Adding methanol/lye and 'cooking' is for big amounts - I run my diesel van half 'n half.
So for full veg oil just mix with some chemicals?
this video skips the explanation of the transesterification process which depends on other chemicals in order to take place. either NaOH is needed in order for the reaction to occur or KOH potasium hidroxide. Also the reaction for biodiesel manufacturing needs methanol. nice video but you absolutely skipped some important chemical reactives.
I thought to myself "How is he going to explain all the requirements in only 4 minutes and 2 seconds".
The simple answer is........HE DIDN'T.
All he did was warm cooking oil. That's not fuel. A simple chemical reaction is how it's turned into fuel. Warming the oil may aid in the reaction but Didn't even mention adding any chemicals to the oil. Even if you had followed it. All you did was get slightly warm cooking oil.
You can make the fuel without the equipment listed on a smaller scale.

The science of making Bio diesel is very basic chemistry. And one of those things that can improve with advanced equipment. But also be done using very basic tools. Measuring cups, and containers. The chemicals used while dirt cheap are also caustic so basic safety should be used to avoid getting them on yourself in the process.
The video we watched was a very poor commercial that failed to demonstrate how to use the processor properly.
If your fueling a farm and all it's equipment a small processor will be handy. If your just keeping a commuter car going you can go by the video I linked.
Yeah, that’s false advertising
@@adamtain7627 The worst kind of false advertising. First while it is possible to use just filtered cooking oil as a fuel. (Some US military vehicle engines are built purposely to handle all sorts of crap as make do fuel. Including cooking oil. Meant for adaptability in a combat situation.)
However that said the reason people make bio diesel in the first place is because cooking oil used as a fuel is long term not good for the engine. The difference between cooking oil and bio diesel is that cooking oil while it contains what you need to use as fuel. It also contains alot of crap that can't burn or don't ignite well in an engine. This leads to rapid build up in the engine.
The video I linked noticed how the Cooking oil goes from looking like Cooking oil to crystal clear almost like water? That's because that process is stripping out the crap that can't burn.
The left over crap if you got the right set up can be further processed into soap. You could straight up become zero waste with a good bio diesel set up.
But yeah why that's the worst false advertising is it will damage people's property. Like if you wanna say you can use straight up cooking oil as fuel you can. But don't fucking omit important details like the fact it causes rapid engine build up, and long term is bad for the vehicle. As a desperation fuel situation it's fine. Like run out of fuel in the middle of nowhere. Nobody has fuel. But maybe you got cooking oil on hand enough to get you to the next gas station.
filtration can be used agro film which is used to protect plants from frost it is the cheapest filter. it is also possible to filter the fuel itself before filling it into the fuel tank.
I love this video, very inspiring... How much would you say the startup cost of this unit was?
Don't forget you need to combine Lye with methyl hydrate. I use 5g lye, 200ml of methyl hydrate to 1 litter of used cooking oil. Be sure to let it sit up to 3-4 days to let the glycerol settle
That much? It costs 5$ for 1liter of methyl hydrate... making it 20 cents for every liter of used oil?
at which step?
"learn how to solo on guitar" first step: solo on guitar
Look at Cassandra Lin's Turn Grease into Fuel project. This is what she does with her team of other 17-year old kids and they turn the used grease from 132 restaurants around Rhode Island, USA to heat homes for the less fortunate. They are amazing.
heres a tip just take a electric kettle then put the used oil inside... when the oil heats up it will be sperated from the chunks and go to the bottom. I put a hose at the bottom with a screen infront of it. so when it is done heating up i just turn the lever on my hose and biodiesel comes out. It is perfectly safe for your car, cheaper and better for the enviroment.
I love this idea
I like the foley work in this video
"How to Filter and Warm Up Somebody Else's Oil"
Excellent information.
thanks thanks a lot
wow thankyou patti thaili !
I'd like the full process please.
A link or something ?
plain vegetable oil works fine in diesels. it can thicken when cold. but works perfectly if filtered clean.
Wow this is great information
Awesome video!!
I have an after -market fuel and moisture circulation set on my Duramax with two .2micron cat filters I might try this set up and pushed it directly into the engine. I forgot to mention it still has the original fuel filter which makes it three filters in series.
Great video! Thumbs up!
I prefer sodium hydroxide (naoh) because it gels the glycerine but it's good that you said to use koh because naoh will clog up your generator
Hello can you teach me step by step to make biodiesel? What need equipments? Please? I really interested
How do you prevent the cooking oil from forming varnish? I can't get it to burn Cleanly in oil candles. The wick carbons up and will not burn more than a few hours.
great
Come on now...This does not tell how to make biodiesel...just how to filter veg oil. Big deal.
theres more videos this is just step 1
Olen Soifer Vegetable oil works in a diesel car. The vegetable oil he refines is the Biofuel. I'm not joking it actually works on a diesel car
@@snacksy7754 right so we can just hook up a few filters on the car or truck and put this straight it? That was my understanding too
@@mirracobiker710 seems like he filters in the video, so why filter again.
Hi there...
How long have you been using bio diesel?
Are you using it in your own car?
what is the difference between using Ethanol or Methanol? does it make any difference?
Have you experience any problem with your engine?
what happens if you get glycerin in the engine?
Thank you for the video!
Clarify the specs about a biodiesel processor, and also which reagents should we add? Cause as far as the video shows info, it only captions processes such as filtering,sedimenting, if am not mistaken
How much time you heating oil???
Can diesel engine run on oily hand sanitizer? Such as hands sanitizer with aloe vera oil.
When you dont know how a diesel engine works vut you still got the narration part
what the hell was that?? its not ready after filtering and warming...hahaha...
yeah!! it is
Marcus Cheyne but you don't see any steps of him adding the KOH or NaOH catalyst and the methanol
Erick Anfoso the main part is the reaction tank sir. likely is the part that they want sell here.
If you're running pure bio than yeah you need to add the other ingredients then cook but, if you're just mixing with regular sulfur diesel than you're good to go.
tha jar of final biodisel have 2 colors... some steps ara missing right? no need to remove the glycerin and then to remove contaminants like soap waste? How can soap particles be removed from the pre-biodiesel solution?
what is the last heating process for ? and for how long ?
Hey I made Biodiesel for a project but dont know how to test it or show that its working.
What shall I do? How to make a biodiesel detector or and miniature engine . plzz help
It's all well and good to make it at home, but how do you deal with the waste? The cheats way to make it is just mix methanol and settle it out, but it is crude and unrefined. The industrial system uses acid esterification which is highly refined but leaves some nasties behind. You can recoupe methanol, glycerine and pottasium phosphate but you are still left with water phase (acid) and highly alkalised water at the end of glycerine extraction. Not so environmentally friendly.
Myth busters just filtered used cooking oil and poured it in tank and car ran fine with only a 10% loss in milage from regular diesel fuel.
I had an old 1984 F350 diesel, that's all I did!
New diesels can't run it though, it'll mess up the computer settings. Funny how "emissions standards" prevent the use of alternative fuels.
@@matthogue1386 It's actually compression rates, still technically computer I know. Most manufactures now allow for up 20% mix of bio diesel. Kinda hard to justify with diesel currently at 94 cent per liter as I type this but good for shit hits the fan scenarios where they maybe a shortage of fuel.
does it works on both gasoline and diesel engines?
But please can u tell me that how can I make the processing unit?
Wow😍
Interesting video, although its not the full story. I was also thinking a good processing tank would be an old household water heater. Because 1. Built in heating element. 2. it should be insulated. 3. If its an old one you can probably find it for cheap or free as well. 4. Does not require much modification to use for bio diesel production.
+Zak Jakubiszyn Not a bad idea, though an old tank may have deposits all over the walls.
Austin Lucas Nothing some CLR and Steel Wool won't fix
I like your idea
why did you show a nuclear power station's cooling towers when you were talking about oil power stations?
Because that's what you do when you're a dumbass and you're making a video that you know nothing about
I saw a video on hos they do this with no machines or apparatus in the Philippines. They don't use it for cars, only generators and farm machines.
Let me just pull my biodiesel processor out my pocket.
That's it!
legitimately considering getting a turbodiesel as my first car right now
Hey how much did uou get yield of biodiesel from the total liter of used cooking oil? Thank you😊
1:18
You could also steal the used cooking oil. though I wouldn't recommend it due to the risks.
In fact, that has occurred quite a few times.
+Vibhu Iyer Not entirely, even Gasoline was considered trash at one time and look at it now. As for the quality of the used cooking oil, it depends - sometimes it may be useful for making Biodiesel, other times not so.
+Vibhu Iyer one mans trash is another man's treasure.
Haha "you will need: used cooking oil, a filter, a barrel, a biodiesel processor and a thermometer"
_One of these things is not like the other,_
_One of these things is not like the other_
..."to make your very own bread, you will need: an oven, a baking tray and a professional baker!"
The video would've atleast made sense if it included a link to buy a biodiesel processor.
Is that easy or there is other sreps missing?
Can you learn me how to convert oil housing to the diesel
There are many simpler video that this on RUclips
Wow
Will any diesel.car or bike just run on this without any modifications whatsoever?
you can buy kits online
Do it works on any car or truck?
Brother been doing it for years. Makes for very cheap running.
I am seeing this video from India🇮🇳
What compressor? What is the processor, two pipe nipples and some elbows? Which heating element? I guess I'm left with an open mind, craving information.
How can we build or buy this type of biodiesel?
Could someone explain about effect if i mix biodiesel (B20) with olive oil? using 30ml olive oil for 50 litres biodiesel. Could it can increase performance?
B20 is already at what most manufactures classify as the safe sulfur to bio diesel ratio. Cooking oil and olive oil are not necessarily one in the same when we're talking about fuel as there's going to be different fat to oil ratios. I would suggest trying to find a bio diesel manufacturer in your area or even a trusted diesel mechanic that could help better answer your question.
Where do we get that processor?
hi I want to setup ethanol manufacturing plant in my backyard for trial basis could you help me how can I get all machinery and setup plan... Please help me.
Waste of time money and effort to end up with a corrosive fuel and water build up problems
You will need
-A Bucket
-Cooking oil
-used cooking oil
-A filter
-and finally a hadron collider
may i have the consent to use this for my video speech?
Left a lot of unanswered questions.
How come the cooking oil didn't turn into biodiesel at the restaurant when they warned it up. Or did I nod off for a bit.
This video should be titled "HOW TO FILTER COOKING OIL"
instead of methanol, ethanol can be used?
theres alot more then just heating it up i mean if you aleast want it to be really good
guys how about a regular cooking oil will it work, coz I don't have veggie oil
Great info.
Love the tiny bit of cursing at the beginning about and i quote, " fucking up your pump." Rofl'd
How can this be precise when nothing is mentioned about a catalyst for separation of glycerin from bio-diesel with methoxide? The glycerin settles to the bottom of the tank and bio-deisel rise to the top of the tank. The glycerin is then drained off with a value at the bottom of the reactor tank.
There is no such thing as green combustible fuel. Though with biofuel, one doesn't need to worry about oil leaks.
What will this do to food prices if cars compete with mouths? Will water become a more valuable commodity as we need more and more land under the plow?
can it work with any diesel engine
Should be called: How to waste your time with cooking oil.
Matt's Van Life Vegetable oil works in a diesel car. The vegetable oil he refines is the Biofuel. I'm not joking it actually works on a diesel car
how can we transfer the Vegetable oil or cooking oil to biofuel
Thats the thing. Biofuel is a name for all fuels made from biological materials. Vegetable oil is one of those. just like furniture is a group for tables, chairs, or desks.
what year car are truck will it work on
Congratulations you have just properly filtered your used cooking oil and can begin your bio-diesel home brew process? I thought the video was about the process they stopped just before starting not on how to properly filter used cooking oil, or did I miss something?
Totally agree that they missed steps. Technically what they show can be used when being added to sulfur diesel to power a vehicle even the newest high compression diesel's.
is this part one?
I want to do to this. I have a diesel, live in LA, and work at a restaurant. Edit: they will allow me to take it
Wicked! Just remember that this is not the whole process. If you want to go 100% bio diesel you need more chemicals and equipment. If you just want to help increase fuel economy by mixing with regular diesel then this video is all you need.
u should explain what kind reaction involves whether it is transesterification or esterification, and how do these reactions works... This will help people to understand more :-)
We believe that petroleum after all is limited. biodiesel is production from waste cooking oil or vegetable oil + ethanol or methanol
Could i offer our coconut cooking oil ?
This video is about filtering and heating used cooking oil.
@bkellam That was actually a picture of a coal power plant. Do a google image search of coal power plants and you will see.
I live in Tijuana mex, need some kit for the truck use biodisel,?
no, diesel engines were designed to run on vegetable oils, as a matter of fact, when Diesel first showed his engine it was running on peanut oil, however if you have a recent vehicle (2008+) will have a DPF, if you have this I wouldn't use more of a B20 mix, unless you drive on the freeway a lot, but with Tijuana's traffic, I wouldn't recommend it if you have a new vehicle, but if you remove the DPF then you'll be able to run it on B100 (biodiesel 100%)
I have 97 2.5 turbo diesel Jeep. I drive it on 100% vegetable oil and it works great without any modifications. OK, temperature must be 10 Celsius or more.
When I try to make it according to video, so all waste oil turns into glycerol... Any ideas what could be wrong?
Wtf i think its impossible because glycerine its only a part of the wasted oil maybe it still mixed,try to heat at 50 Celsius during 1 hour or let down the sun for 2 days
For whom it may consign, this is not how to produce a biodiesel. This is just how to filter your vegetable oil off any impurities.
To prepare a biodiesel, you need a catalyst and a whole lot of process and burning to make a perfect biodiesel that can run your cars and backUp generator.
Vegetable oil works in a diesel car. The vegetable oil he refines is the Biofuel. I'm not joking it actually works on a diesel car
