Is their any way to convert a regular non diesel engine car to biodiesel/vegetable oil or something similiar?
By Carol Moore | June 9, 2009
I'm turning 16 and getting my permit next month and want to drive using biodiesel, veritable oil, or something similar. I'm driving a 1983 GMC S-15 Pickup with a regular non diesel engine. Is their any way for me to make this take biodiesel?
No there is not. Ask Oldsmobile, they tried to take a gas engine an make it diesel, what a disaster that was. The block did not have enough cooling, the crank couldn't hold up to it. They were so bad, today they would have been buried in lawsuits.
No, you cannot take a gas engine and convert it to diesel, to many differences to go into.

How do I convert to biodiesel?
By Carol Moore | May 6, 2009
I have a 1990 Jeep Wrangler. I drive A LOT, and half of my paycheck goes to damn Gas & Oil companies. Ive been looking up info on biodiesel and it sounds like the way to go. I need to save money, and help the environment. Is there a way of making my Jeep biodiesel? And how much will this cost me?
you don't need to convert it unless you are going to run on pure bio diesel. you can in the summer months run on a mix of diesel and bio up to 75% bio and in the winter months go down to 33% bio. the other way is run on pure bio and put a pre heater in the fuel line due to the bio getting thicker when cold.some people even put a small heater in the tank .
the main thing to do before useing bio is if you are making it yourself you need to register with the customs and excise to allow you to use it as a fuel even if you buy it at the supermarket , but if you buy bio then the seller will have paid the dues for it
hope this helps , if you need more info i can send some links to clubs where there is a lot of info on it

What are the health benefits of biodiesel? that is, how is it better for our health compared to fossil fuels?
By Carol Moore | May 3, 2009
please give specific answers/ examples…
basically my question is: what health problems can arise from fossil fuels and how can biodiesel impact on these?
Biodiesel produces exactly the same greenhouse gases as traditional diesel does. The idea is that the majority of the carbon goes though a cycle of being absorbed in the plants.
But to me it has two problems. One being that modern farming actually emits lots of carbon. The other, and more important factor, is land should be used to feed people, not cars. There are people hungry in the world, and we are wasting crops on making fuel instead of food? Lunacy.

How do I run a diesel van on biodiesel?
By Carol Moore | April 16, 2009
I just bought a 1984 chevy diesel van. I want to run it on biodiesel, and I don't really know where to start.
You need to take the following into account:
- Biodiesel fuel can damage rubber hoses in some engines, particularly in cars built before 1994. You should check with the manufacturer before using biodiesel to see if you need to replace any hoses or rubber seals.
- Biodiesel can wax at low temperatures (the solution is to add anti waxing additives to the fuel, which allow its smooth operation even in very cold weather conditions or blend with mineral diesel).

Where would be a good location to operate a biodiesel processing business?
By Carol Moore | March 29, 2009
I'm about to graduate from college and I'm considering starting a biodiesel business. Where would be a good location to do so? I'm leaning towards the east coast - - so, where on the east coast is heavy in agriculture, farming, construction, etc? I would also need many restaurants nearby, preferably chinese or asian foods.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Somewhere on the East Coast.
The suburbs of New Jersey are a good place. They have a lot of Chinese places there, and it is in fact the garden state, so there will be agriculture.

how much does it cost to convert to biodiesel?
By Carol Moore | March 20, 2009
I was wondering how much it would cost for ALL of the supplies i would need to convert a vehicle to biodiesel. and possibly what all the supplies i need are. and is biodiesel really worth it?
No diesel engines needs to be converted to run on biodiesel. Maybe you are referring to running waste vegetable oil as fuel. There are extensive modifications that need to be done such as adding an extra fuel tank, installing switching valves and adding heaters to heat the oil. The engine must be started on straight diesel and after the engine warms up and the oil is heated, you switch to burn the waste vegetable oil. Then before shutting down the engine, you must switch back to diesel to purge the fuel lines of the WVO so the engine will start the next time.
Biodiesel is made from waste vegetable oil that is processed using certain ratios of methanol and lye added to the heated WVO and circulated together for a period of time. This causes the glycerin to separate from the WVO and the resulting product is biodisel that can be burned by any diesel engine, mixed in any ratio with diesel fuel, or even burned straight, with no modifications to the fuel system or engine at all. You can build your own processor out of a water heater by using plans found on the internet. I have been making biodiesel at home for 3 years and have not bought any diesel fuel at all since May 2008. I have been running biodiesel 100% since and have saved lots of money by not having to buy fuel. This has easily paid for the investment of building my processing system which was less than $1000.
