Make Alternative Diesel Fuel From Used Petroleum Oils
How would you like to cut your diesel fuel cost in half?
By making alternative diesel fuel from waste oils, you could. How about cutting
your diesel fuel cost by 80% to 90%. Crazy you say?
No, the technology has been around for years.
The military and poor countries that barely scrape out a living, have been using
this technology for years. Why isn't this front page news everyday? The oil
companies want more of your money and the government wants the taxes you
continue to pay on the over priced oil products.
The Archers Friend team spends a lot of money each year on fuel during the hunting
season. Some of the fuel is gasoline for 1 truck, sometimes a jeep, and the
ATVs. The heavy hauler is a diesel and we expect to replace the other 1 ton
pickup with another diesel soon.
I have been investigating alternative fuel and alternative diesel fuel in
particular for sometime now because of the potential savings in cost.
When we are running 2 diesels, we will probably be using over 500 gallons
of diesel just during the hunting season. At 50% cost savings
(what I get on the truck that I use now), that is about $875 SAVINGS
at today's prices. WHO KNOWS WHAT THE PRICE WILL BE BY NEXT SEASON.
A well maintained diesel will last many times longer than a gasoline engine doing
the same work. In most cases, the diesel will get much better mileage and will
always make the towing jobs much easier. So, to me, the diesel is a very cost
effective way to save money in the long run.
With diesel engines, the making of alternative diesel fuel, makes sense. The
problem has been that making BIODIESEL requires using toxic and dangerous
chemicals, dealing with unknowledgeable local governments, dealing with unrealistic
ordinances, disposing of wastewater and glycerin, running amuck of your homeowner's
insurance policy, and dealing with jealous neighbors.
I began more than a year ago gathering up parts to make a biodiesel processor
and acquiring pumps, barrels, filters, hoses, buckets, plans, and reading several
articles and books. I even drove 70 miles each way to take a class that was
several hours long on making biodiesel.
I learned that the collection of waste vegetable oil had many problems and hurtles
to overcome and one of the biggest was the waste
vegetable oil hauling industry. That industry convinced the legislature
that one should be licensed to haul used fry oil and the like.
Getting a license is required here and other places. That also leads to other
inquiries by the licensing authority. One must also pay a tax on the "newly"
produced fuel since the oil did not have road tax or excise tax placed on it as
cooking oil. Thus, my venture into making an alternative diesel fuel from vegetable
oil seem to be more hassles than benefits.
I continued to read and research how to make the biodiesel production be worthwhile
and legal. Then, quite by accident, I noticed a headline in a magazine that I take.
I was looking at using waste petroleum oil as a heat source for my shop.
I continued to follow links and references to everything mentioned in the articles
that I read. Then, BINGO, I found an article
on processing waste motor oil or any waste petroleum oil into an alternative
diesel fuel oil.
I read and researched for days. I called the manufacturer of the processor 3 times
with what must have seemed like pages of questions. I
finally felt like the processor was actually for real and not some scam developed
to trick folks out of their hard earned money.
I ordered the smallest unit last summer and began my experiments on what just the
right mixture for my vehicle would be. It turned out that a
50/50 mix of used oil to diesel gave little
smoke at idle and no smoke on the road. The mixture can vary from engine to
engine. Some will like a mixture of 80% or 90% waste oil to 20% and 10% diesel
respectively.
I found that the more transmission fluid that was used, the less chance of smoke.
I found a source for mostly transmission fluid, so I mix about 10% motor oil to
about 40% transmission fluid and hydraulic oil with 50% diesel for my alternative
diesel fuel oil mixture.
THERE ARE NO EXPLOSIVE OR CAUSTIC CHEMICALS TO DEAL WITH
AND NO NEED FOR SEVERAL GALLONS OF WATER USED TO MAKE THE FUEL. THERE IS NO WASTE
THAT YOU MUST PAY TO DISPOSE OF. The only waste that I may
have is a small amount of water or condensation that settles to the bottom of my
oil drums over time. That is easily drained out and left at one of the oil recycle
drop-offs.
Using this method to make alternative diesel fuel
from waste petroleum oils is much safer than making
Biodiesel, it is much faster (minutes rather than
days), the start up costs are much less, there is
almost NO learning curve, you could use the
processor while traveling with minimal delays, AND
virtually NO by-products to deal with. This is
truly a dream come true.WARNING!!!The processor unit that you see here and in the
video on YouTube, LOOKS like the run of the mill weed or fruit tree
sprayer found online or at the local farm and ranch store. IT IS NOT AS IT
SEEMS. The body (tank) is pretty much the same, the pump is an upgrade, the
outside filter has a special cartridge and there is the SPECIAL BEAD POD INSIDE
THE SPRAYER BODY.
It is the SPECIAL BEAD POD that take out
the antifreeze, paraffin, water droplets and other contaminants and render the used oil safe for your expensive diesel engine. The bead pod comes with the processors and that is the only way we have found to get them.
OK, since you have read this far, I suppose you would like to know where to get
a processor? Well, you have at least 2 choices. The first is obvious, just
keep searching on the internet and reading in hopes of finding the manufacturer's
information.
The good folks that build this and several other sizes of processors, make their
living by working on trucks and equipment. They are mechanics first, and
inventors second, so they did not make it easy to find their processors.
Since I have spent many weeks researching the alternative diesel fuel subject and
have experimented with the biodiesel production and its problems, and found several
sources for the items that one will need to either produce fuel from waste
petroleum oils or waste vegetable oil, I HAVE A SIMPLER
AND FASTER SOLUTION (CHOICE NUMBER 2). CHOICE 2 IS A CD with a MOVIE, a set of
Still pictures, and TEXT documents on where to get the items that
I use to make my fuel.The movie is in the .wmv format that most media players can play. The Pictures
are .jpg and the resource documentation is in .doc (MS Word™) and .txt
(plain text format) that any computer can read.The CD with movie and documentation on where to get
the processor and the support items that I use to make alternative diesel fuel
is only $24.95 US dollars
and includes mailing to address within the United States.

To Order with Money Order or Cashier's Check.

Besides using the homemade diesel, you should consider using a
By-Pass
Oil Filter System. We have a page on this system and how to install it.
If you would like to get started looking at the cost of some items to make
biodiesel or process waste petroleum oils, then BIODIESEL PROCESSORS, PARTS, AND INFORMATION, has
several items that can be used for both the vegetable oil and the petroleum oil
to make alternative diesel fuel.
And another site worth the visit for Pumps, Tools, and
Material Handling Supplies.
For the above site, here are the item numbers of items like I use. Item# 360 12 volt with nozzle and hose in and out 10 gpm. Item# 109577 12 volt pump 13 gpm barrel or 2in bung tank pump. Item# 10977 simple hand rotary pump no hose just curved neck. Item# 109528 hand lever pump simple barrel/bucket. Item# 109574 hand rotary HD.
These sites have reasonable prices and a lot of information, but they
do not sell or have reference to the
Waste Petroleum Oil Processor.That
information is available on the CD along with links to where I get the
items used in the video to make my alternative diesel fuel. The above companies have good choices on pumps, some containers, some
filters, and various helpful pieces of hardware.
