bio-d or wvo?

Post by Guest »

What's your preference? I've heard many positives of biodiesel but would like to consider a car conversion to straight wvo. I'm going off to college soon so I would rather not put money into a bio processing station when I wont be able to use it. So is a straight veggie oil system worth the time, or should I stick with making the fuel?!?!?!?

Thanks for any input :)

I like vegoil myself, because I can get so much of it, its simpler to convert vehicle. I wouldn't trust myself mixing chemicals endup poisoning myself and surrounding area. If there wassomeplace close to me I might buy the occasional tank of biodiesel just to clean the fuel system.

put in the wvo system, and them if you get time to make the biodiesel you can just mix it in with your diesel tank, and eventually you can just run off of both and not have to buy fuel, well methanol or ethanol and lye

good luck
