Produce Your Own Biodiesel Fuel Yourself at Home

Antoinette McGowan
Do you have a diesel engine in your pick up truck? Do you hate the price of diesel fuel at the stations? How would you like to cut your cost of fuel for your truck? You can if you produce the biodiesel yourself. I am not kidding. There are kits out there that you can purchase for a reasonable price that will allow you to produce your own biodiesel.

The benefits of producing your own biodiesel are limitless really. No more relying on over seas oil companies, no more paying high prices at the stations, safe for the environment and also no sales tax to pay.

To explain biodiesel fuel in an easy to understand manner, it is diesel fuel that is made from a very common waste product. That common waste product is old used cooking oil. Biodiesel fuel is better for the environment because it burns cleaner than fossil-fuel diesel. Any diesel engine can run off of biodiesel fuel just like it does off of fossil-fuel diesel.

Also I am sure you are wondering if it is safe to use in your diesel engines. The answer to that is yes it is safe; in fact it is better for your diesel engines. Your diesel engine will run better and last longer if you use biodiesel fuel instead of the fossil-fuel diesel. Addition chemicals that you will need to make biodiesel fuel are lye and methanol. Instead of using lye you can use sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. These chemicals can be obtained from any chemical dealer. Just check your local yellow pages to find a dealer in your vicinity.

One company Home Biodiesel Kits, offer customers 4 different biodiesel processors ranging from around 1300.00 to 4530.00 in prices. Each one has a different range of gallons that it will produce in a 24 hour period. All diesel produced in these processors is ready to use in 24 hours; the only difference in them is how much they produce at one time. So it is basically up to you as to how much you need or want to produce, when deciding which processor is right for you.

Home Biodiesel Kits also offer you a Starter Kit that will produce 4 gallons for you to see if you like producing your own biodiesel. The starter kit costs $495.00. The price of the starter kit is 100% applied to the purchase price of any of their biodiesel processors, if you decide to purchase one.

Biodiesel Warehouse is another company offering customers the chance to own their own biodiesel processors. Their pricing ranges from 2,000.00 to 13,000.00 for small personal use processors. For anyone wanting to start their own biodiesel processing plant they have higher dollar more upscale processors.

Biodiesel Warehouse also offers low pricing for kits that do not contain all the equipment you would need. So if you have access to some of the equipment at a lower price then these lower dollar kits may work for you. These kits range from between 400.00 to around 550.00.

Remember that making your own biodiesel fuel it is better for the environment and your vehicles. This is all so a great chance for anyone that wants to stick it to the government and show big oil companies that they won't pay those high prices anymore.
