Biofuel
Does anyone know how to make this stuff? I know you can mix it 2:1 (diesel:veg oil) without any mods, but what about running the 100% stuff? I think you have to add a small amount meths or something to thin slightly and some sort of heating mechanism for the pipes?
Anyone else know any more??
Cheers
I thought Biofuel was made using hay amongst other agricultural fuels.
You still trying to think of a way to do Lands end to John 'o' groats for 10p?
While we are on the subject of alternative fuels.
How much does an lpg conversion cost nowadays?
The mix that I know is 9 parts veg oil 1 part paraffin and leave it to settle for 24 hours. I know lads that have been running it in their generators for years with no issues.
LPG conversion is about 2K. I know someone that does it up in Leicestershire.
Bloody hell... didnt realise it was that expensive.Originally Posted by bump
get what you pay for. There are hooky systems & good ones. One of my clients does them & they use pukka prinz systems. Always got big Jags & 12 cyl Mercs or American V8 pick up trucks in for installations.

Yep and there are no government grants for it any more. It used to cost joe public about ?400 with the subsidy. A cynic (sp?) may guess that the thought of the lost tax revenue was the ulterior motive for killing it off.
Thats more like it.
I hadn't realised they had stopped the grants.
Or use Red Diesel from farmers. You can strain off the Red dye with cat litter.
I'd rather have an alcohol distillery in my shed though if you are gonna go to that much trouble. Build a high compression turbo or supercharged engine for it.
Run it on Moonshine. LOL
