How much will I have to pay for used cooking oil?

Biofuels Solutions
In most cases a restaurant will be happy to simply give you their used oil, since they would otherwise have to pay to dispose of it, however a waste carriers licence will be required. If you require large quantities of used oil you could arrange a local collection company to deliver larger volumes. This service will cost anywhere between 10 ? 25p per litre.

Can biodiesel be used for oil furnaces?

FAQ - GoBiodiesel
Yes. You can safely use B20 in an oil furnace. We do know people using B100 (100% biodiesel) in their home heating systems without any modifications. You can get B100 delivered for your oil furnace, just check our [Biodiesel Sources] page. If your oil tank is in good condition it should store well.

What types of oil can be used to make Biodiesel?

Freedom Fuel America
Biodiesel can be made from ALL types of vegetable and animal oil, but oil that is from animal sources (tallow, lard, grease, etc.) needs special conditions and procedures to process it successfully. All vegetable oils can be used, including all seed oils, nut oils (including peanut oil), bean oils (including soybean oil), olive oils, and oil pressed from algae. Biodiesel can be made from new or used oil.

Is it easy to get used oil to make Biodiesel with?

Freedom Fuel America
You could have difficulty finding oil to use for making Biodiesel. Used cooking oil is a marketable commodity, and in some areas, it is actively being used as such. Do not assume that you will be able to get oil just because your area has many fast-food restaurants. You should get out into your local area, and locate your oil sources early in your research process. Finding adequate or affordable oil supplies can be the most challenging part of making Biodiesel in some areas.

Transesterification was conducted as early as 1853. Rudolf Diesel designed this engine to run on vegetable oil. He did a demonstration at the 1900 World's Fair where he ran his engine on peanut oil. One of the first uses of biodiesel (transesterified vegetable oil) was powering heavy vehicles in South Africa before World War II.

What about cooking oil?

Oil Recycling Why We Should Do It
Oil banks are not for used cooking oil. Large amounts of used cooking oil from factories, restaurants and food outlets can be recycled so contact your local authority for details on what facilities are available for disposing of waste cooking oil in your area. Recycled cooking oil can be refined and used to make detergents or converted into bio fuels and some organisations will collect the waste free of charge or will buy it from you.

There is a large number of staff employed in the oil industry predominantly based around West Africa. Employees commonly travel to these areas every 4-6 weeks, followed by a similar period of leave back in the UK. Oil rigs may be based in river estuaries or many miles offshore. As the level of risk may be difficult to assess until one period of work has been completed, malaria prevention tablets should be taken for the whole of this first trip.

Will cooking with Coconut Oil cause it to become hydrogenated and toxic like hydrogenated oils?

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions - Tropical Traditions
No. Hydrogenation is an industrial process where hydrogen molecules are introduced to the oil to make it solid at room temperatures. It chemically alters the oil and creates harmful trans fatty acids. Cooking with coconut oil does NOT introduce hydrogen into the oil or hydrogenate it. Coconut oil is a very stable oil even at higher temperatures. However, it is best not to cook beyond the smoke point of coconut oil, as this will begin to deteriorate the oil and turn it yellow.

Can Biodiesel be used in any diesel engine?

Earth Biofuels, Biodiesel Fuel Alternative, How to Make Biod...
Biodiesel can be used in any diesel engine, typically with no modifications to the engine necessary. It performs comparably to diesel, with similar BTU content and higher cetane. It offers excellent lubricity and lower emissions compared to petroleum diesel. The efficiency of diesel engines is the same whether using biodiesel, diesel, or biodiesel blends so differences in horsepower, torque or fuel economy are due entirely to volumetric energy content.

Is biodiesel the same thing as raw vegetable oil?

Whole Energy Biodiesel Fuels - Product Information
Biodiesel is produced from any fat or oil such as soybean oil, through a refinery process called transesterification. This process is a reaction of the oil with an alcohol to remove the glycerin, which is a by-product of biodiesel production. Fuel-grade biodiesel must be produced to specifications (ASTM D6751) in order to insure proper performance. Biodiesel is the only alternative fuel to have fully completed the health effects testing requirements of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments.

What do I do with the Glycerin by-product once my oil has processed into Biodiesel?

Freedom Fuel America
The glycerin that settles to the bottom of the processing tank as the oil is transformed into Biodiesel is non-toxic, fully biodegradable, and contains no PCBs once the methanol has evaporated out of it. If you store the glycerin undisturbed for several weeks, you will allow more Biodiesel to separate out of it.

top] What is biodiesel made from, besides vegetable oil?

Yokayo Biofuels - FAQ
Diesel engines of today have been altered to meet diesel #2 viscosity standards. Straight vegetable oil such as the peanut oil used by Rudolph Diesel in his engine at the turn of the century is much thicker. This is one thing that has kept biodiesel out of the arena for so long. Today, a chemical reaction called transesterification is used to thin the vegetable oil.
