Make Your Own Biodiesel At Home. Definitely one can make biodiesel at home. It is not that much complicated but a bit dangerous. It is prudent that only person with good biodiesel manufacturing should make their own biodiesel at home.
The ingredients needed to make your own biodiesel at home are divided in three stages namely mixture, titration, washing. The mixture stage comprises of Waste Vegetable Oil (WVO) – used cooking oil, lard, animal fat, fryer grease, Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) – that’s lye or caustic soda, dry only and Methanol (CH3OH) – at least 99% pure. The titration stage comprises of Isopropyl/Rubbing Alcohol – again, at least 99% pure.
Phenolphthalein Solution – kept out of the sunlight and no more than 1 year old and Distilled Water. The washing stage comprises of Water and Vinegar. It is a very simple procedure. The simple procedure includes blending the inputs, allowing it to settle, breaking up the byproduct and biodiesel and finally purifying the biodiesel. Depending on the cleanliness level of the vegetable oil, this process might take few days to a few weeks. Pay attention to the safety features before you start to make your own biodiesel at home. Enjoy using the biodiesel fuel and contribute to the eco friendly environment.
