Is there anyone out there currently making or experimenting with Biodiesel?
By Carol Moore | November 20, 2008
I am researching the mechanics of making biodiesel and contemplating buying a ready-to-assemble processor. It sounds like a great idea but I would like input from people who already have experience with this.( For example, is it easy to make or is it a hassel? Does it work well in your diesel engine? How much petrol diesel do you have to mix with it in the winter?) Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
This is more of a "source" for you. I know the Ann Arbor, Michigan public transportation system uses biodiesel in its buses around town. They might have a website that can help.

Does anyone know of a place where I can convert my truck to biodiesel?
By Carol Moore | November 16, 2008
I live in Phoenix, Arizona. Do you know of anyone who can convert my truck to biodiesel, and what do you need to do to convert a truck to biodiesel? I want to keep using my truck in an environmentally sound way, and I want to make a stand against using oil by not buying gasoline anymore!
If your truck currently runs on gasoline, switch to ethanol. It is made in America from corn. You can safely run 10-30% ethanol in it with no modifications at all. If you want to go higher than 30% ethanol in your fuel tank check out:

Is Biodiesel the cure to decrease pollution in reality?
By Carol Moore | November 13, 2008
Biodesel reqiures land to be cultivate, that means it will occupy the area of agricultural farms which is not possible, since we need more food to feed our growing population. so the other option is to clear forest area to cultivate these plants, it is not wise to go for biodiesel at the cost of forest area. also, the number of vehicle is increasing day by day that means the emmission of pollutant will increase. it is better to go for renewable source of energy than the biodiesel.
No, its not the solution. First things first.
Growing crops to convert to fuel ends up competing with crops grown to be used as food. The end result is that the price of food goes through the roof because farmers are making more from growing fuel crops. That's not ever going to be an acceptable situation.
The answer is hydrogen. Hydrogen can be used in existing internal combustion engines. You simply have to change the timing of the engine. Most gasoline and diesel engine ignite the fuel well before the stroke of the engine reaches top dead center. The result is that most of the power generated is lost due to simple counter forces applied to the crankshaft of the vehicle. The end result is that you get about a 25% eefficiency from those engines.
Now, change the timing and add a hydrogen fuel supply. Hydrogen burns much faster than gas or diesel and the timing of the engine has to change to take that into account. You ignite the hydrogen after the engine passes top dead center, you gain back all the power that you lost to counter forces and the efficiency of the engine goes up above 50%.
This doesnt even take into account the fact that hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. Setup a solar power plant and use its power output to make nothing but hydrogen. Bang, no continuing costs and you have paid for the plant within a couple of years. You can build the plant in the middle of the desert so you arent fighting for crop lands. You help clean up the environment and the price of food goes down because there is more of it available.

Can my car run on ethanol or biodiesel?
By Carol Moore | November 11, 2008
I have a 1995 chevy Lumina LS 3.1 mid sized car. And what do i have to do to convert it to ethanol or biodiesel for cheap or free.
Ethanol perhaps, biodiesel no. Biodiesel can be used it DIESEL engines. It simply will not work in a regular gas combustion engine without a ton of money and work, and in the end it will not be worth the conversion.

why do people suggest i run biodiesel in an older diesel engine?
By Carol Moore | November 7, 2008
I understand the alterations that have to be made with vegetable oil fuels, but what is it about older engines that they 'run better on biodiesel'? is it heating, design, lower restrictions?
Much of it is down to the Enigine Management Sytem. Since 2005, car manufacturers have been under much tighter emmissions restrictions, so the systems have become more complex over time. The key factors for bio-desel are that they now measure the rate of compression in the engine, and also the oxygen content into and out of the exhaust.
Bio-diesel has a lower energy content than mineral, but "ignites" more easily under compression- in other words, it makes the engine think that there is a problem with the pressure on the fuel, so the engine may try to compensate.
Bio-diesel also has a higher oxygen content than mineral- the exhaust monitors read this as not enough fuel getting to the engine, so increase the flow-rate of the fuel to the pistons. Since bio-diesel has better lubricity than mineral, this means that too great an amount of fuel reaches the pistons, it then compresses at too low a level, so it reads a problem with the fuel, disagreeing with the exhaust monitors….. etc etc.
Most often, this is easily compensated by running a mix of bio-diesel/mineral diesel (usually around B85), although some vehicles are more sensitive than others.
Older vehicles, which do not have these tight restrictions on the Management System, tend to run a lot more easily on B100- hence the advice you've been given.
Hope this information helps.

How much cleaner is a biodiesel vehicle than a petroleum vehicle?
By Carol Moore | November 4, 2008
Im thinking of going biodiesel but i dont know how much cleaner for the environment it is.
The PDF document at the link below gives a good basic summary of biodiesel emissions as compared to petroleum diesel emissions. The numbers are very good; I am hopeful that my next vehicle will be a hybrid electric/biodiesel.
