Making diesel from old chip oil.

- A small band of thrifty men take to the streets of Melbourne and sniff out fish and chip shops and take aways in search of their discarded old cooking fat. They take it to their shed and turn it into perfectly good fuel for their diesel vehicles.

I love the notion of taking waste material, like used cooking oil, and creating a resource.
I ran our tractor on it for a little while back when I lived in northern Victoria, now I'm back in NZ and having a proper go at it, the only difference is mines costing me nothing per litre to make but I mix diesel with my oil before it goes in the tank, so all up with todays diesel prices it works to be about the same just without needing a shed full of stuff to make bio diesel, I just have my gravity filter set behind a 40ft container out in the open to aid with drying
Cool...your on top of it bro
@@RebelFilms are these blokes still doing it? I still am, thank god with these prices of fuel
Great video for the above average back yard tinkerer who is willing to experiment a little and save a few dollars ! But unless every household consumed massive amounts of fish and chips and other fried foods (which are really not very healthy for us), biodiesel will never become a viable and widely available form of alternate fuel because the volume required to do so would just not be attainable. We also need to consider that the costs of mass production of vast quantities of biodiesel are much higher than regular diesel derived from petroleum. And it would negatively impact the availability of grains intended for food production and drive food prices much higher.
Definatly for the keen
That's not so true , there are people on this planet 4 partners in fact who bought fields planted sunflowers selling oil and then collecting it after their customers used them, and they turn that to biodiesel. And selling that again. They have a closed loop system. It is doable even for a small farm holder. If every body used every waste turn into something we wouldn't need to have this conversation in the first place. But like a toddler we needed to break the earth to learn how to fix it.
So have you actually got a step by step guide? I am interested in doing this!
Goran they don't know how to do it, they just made the video. Read the other comments, they don't know how much they pay for the other products they need to make the biodiesel.
One word. Liability.
After you mix oil with potassium and methanol, and left it rest for a day or a week, don't you need to separate soap from biodiesel!? As some people do? Thanks
ofc, You pur it from below and remove it.
You have to wash it once the glycerin has settled
Mate and I and a lot of others all over Oz and other countries were all doing this 20 years ago and some longer. Mate and I used to do 1000L batches at a time. Between the 2 of us we had 6 cars so went thought that about every 3 weeks to a month. It's funny to read the same misinformed safety sissy Comments here as were leveld at us back then. I mainly run my Vehicle, Generators and Tractor on straight oil or Blend with petrol. Saves the hassle of making Bio although Bio is more compatible with newer engines but Straight/ blended veg is 100% fine if you run it in suitable engines.
Had Coffee with a mate this morning who is running Straight veg in his wheel loader even though it's winter and says the thing is running with more power which does not make sense on the face of it as veg has about 10% less energy than diesel but the veg could have also cleaned the old thing out. He's very happy with it and the savings he's making on not having to buy 150L of Diesel a week.
Hmmm very interesting
Looking great. How much do you pay for the lye + Methanole/alcohol?
We dont know...you will have to research it.
glemmeren
Send me a list of things I need to have to star.
How old is the video?
1:57 Biodiesel doesn’t burn quickly and easily, COOL! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
That’s another advantage
Realy interesting. What is the white powder you mix in?
Is it to seperate the dirt out of the oil?
i have forgotten actually. Maybe google it.
Rebel Films ok, thanks
That was the catalyst. Methanol and potassium hydroxide.
They mix in top grade White Power from Munich 1936 batch.
The powder is either Sodium Hydroxide OR Potasium Hydroxide. No, it is not to filter the "dirt" out, the Methanol and sodium or potasium hydroxide, make the "Methoxide" which is the catylist to break the long chain polymer into a short chain polymer, (it reduces it's viscosity) so that it will go through the injectors etc., basically.
Add 5ml white spirt to 20ltrs veg oil, mix leave 24 hrs then rready
haaa i trye this direkt in my old mk2 1.6 GTD and work perfect but only in soomer !! hello from Montenegro !!!
Cool, yes...summer good if using it straight. Hi to Montenegro
@@RebelFilms and wee have some traffo oil !! that also OK in summer :)
Hows the tritation done?
The video lacks several steps and explanation. Methanol and potasdium is needed.
Also step 3 could be water sprayed on the diesel to collect particles, left to settle another 24 hours.
The film is more about the process than a step by step “how to” guide.
The human will and mind are more amazing than covid.
covid is a scam!
How do u extract the salt from it
Janies Hutchinson Not sure
What about removing the methanol and soap?
Well whatever he did his vehicle was definatly running on chip oil
lol am 60yr old widow question for you can you use this for a generator instead of a car so get power
Yes you can.
Yep
Melbourne!!!! Sydney road
yep
getting ready for MAD MAX Australian fuel shortages,
Is it possible to make my own diesel from crude oil similarly to this?
Hmmm not sure
yes
Yes but good luck getting crude oil.
I used to simply clean my oil in a centrifuge and pour directly into my ‘81 VW golf and go with it. As long as the temperature was over about 12 - 15 celcious the car would start and run. Never had filter or injector problems. Got 40 mpg and my cost was $ .00 per litre
Very good Dave. There’s more ways to skin a cat
More BioD!
What about washing and drying it?
I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THE GOVERNMENT DONT LET US RECYCLE OIL TO REUSE IT FOR VEHICHLES THIS IS ONLY GOOD FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT.
Most governments are not run by people. That is why their actions are egregious.
Also humans were built to be independent. In this unnatural state our talents are stifled. Following mental and emotional illness. Which is where most our health problems come from.
Because they can't make enough TAX Dollars out of you.
Don’t know if you don’t try
How to convert oil cooking to diesel fuel
Yep...thats it
I don’t understand why no-one is doing this on a much larger scale? Isn’t there a huge amount of money to be made? Especially during this global crisis.
Yeah..reckon!
Petrol companies wont let it be mainstream. they will lobby
I think you can only make so many litres before having to pay tax.
I want to know how to do it can you teach me am John ugbesia
knock knock it's the united states

Come on over u.s. boys and pay your DEW's from our direct energy weapons.
Wtf is chip oil.
Potato were fried in this oil
Go back to sleep Dixie!

This is not a safe way to make biodiesel and it will damage the car as it's not done properly.
Mark Ross was trying to contact AFE who were interviewed for this and since then they seem to have shut down. I'd say that they'd have washed and removed any extra contamination in the product but they may not have been enough time to film that
A man who built an h2o engine was contacted by the govt. And no, it was not to give him a card for his birthday. True happiness and talent is a threat to most institutions.
@@geofffesh2080 don't know how this is relevant to poisoning yourself with methanol?
@@markross728 Intelligence experience knowledge. You had a good comment. I am just branching to a related subject. That of independence and the accountability of it.
@@geofffesh2080 oh a subject that needs more energy to make less energy....
