Has anyone had any luck making their own biodiesel? I've got a TD42, any idea what sort of mods have to be done other than filters? Thanks.

Telling people on here that you dont "have the time" to search is bullsh!t, and also a great way to NOT get any help through your own ignorance. This forum is like a big huge-@rse pool of information, and unfortunately for you, funds probably dont allow for the administrators to "spoon feed" the information to you. You will have to put in a bit of effort yourself, push a few keys on the pad, click the mouse 2 or 3 times to get some info.
It took me 4 times longer to post this thread than it did to find info on biodiesel.
Should we expect a new thread from you "Will 35's fit a GQ?" anytime soon?

PS. Good luck with your biodiesel project.

Then clearly if you havent got the time to spend an hour or two researching biodiesel, you've got no hope of EVER having the time to produce it.
If you're not "into" reading and stuff, then why are you on a forum?? Sh!t, why are you even on a computer??? Do you have a text-to-speech converter or something?

Biodiesel is easy to make, takes 5 mins and costs nothing. Pour in and drive ...
There you go, saved you many precious hours of reading.

Settle down coxy!
I think reposted questions are good sometimes - maybe new members didn't see the old threads and have something to contribute? Maybe the discussion will take a different path than old threads? There may be members out there who have never heard of biodiesel and may learn something new.
So long as it's not the old "can i fit 33" tyres on my GQ", i don't see a problem with a re-hash of a previously asked question.
I know nothing about biodiesel

I havn't made biodiesel I want to give it a try but don't have a suitable place to do it.
Biodiesel is simply refined veggie/seed oil, so that you don't have to mess around with oil heaters in fuel tanks and other crap.
The best place to look would be on youtube to see what to do or see if you want to go through with everything.
how ever you can also just run straight oil, as well with diesel.
The 1 major side effect - it's a solvant so it'll eat away at rubber and the seals in side the injector pump, so if you don't replace these with something else then your fuel system will start to leak over time.
This has happened to me with the 10% biodiesel at the cheap places, it takes a lot longer but it'll still leak either way.

I run on 18c litre, Took many a late night and trial and error. You young jedi apprentices want it all today without the hard work.
I bet you push kids out of the line at maccas just to jump the queue
I'm not having a go at Nissanman cause he asked a question about biodiesel, just having a go because people that use the "I haven't got the time to read/search" excuse is bullsh!t. If he was really THAT interested in making his own biodiesel he would have at least SEARCHED for it either on here or on Google before randomly jumping in hoping to get a two sentence answer that will teach him the world of biodiesel - cause he clearly hasnt got the time to read a whole paragraph, let alone a whole page.
Biodiesel is NOT a quick 2 minute job you do before heading off to work in the morning, there are different levels of quality and refinement, and as i said earlier - if you dont have/cant make the time to research it, you've got no chance of actually putting it into practice.
Maybe we need to invest in a telepathically controlled search function, so we dont have actually input any data, and the results just appear on screen. We could then use our text-to-speech programs to read the results to us. Great idea. Maybe i'll start marketing it.

Coxy out.
dogbreath, god forbit anyone starts a new thread on that issue. I'll have to sell mine and then try to figure out how to fit 34's on. Anyone know how?

Im itching to make some for my Train Station traveller.
Moving house in afew days and i'll have a shed yea har, so i'm going to hit the local fish and chip shop up and have a go.
Nissanman, Myth busters did a story on bio diesel. But someone else will have to find it for you as I don't have the time to look for you not that you will have had the time to read this far I imagine.
WIHC, go to chinese take aways. The oil is suppose to be better, and it don't smell as bad as fish'n'chip shops.
Its also a good idea to get a laser temp/metre, to check the flash point of the oil.
Place oil in a table spoon or similar thing and heat from below (with a blow torch) till oil ignites. Point laser at oil while doing this to take reading.
Cant remember what range it needs to be. sorry.

yeah but it wasn't about biodiesel per se, more about wheather SVO could be used and wheather it'd give you more power and make you get further on 1 tank.Zute wrote:Nissanman, Myth busters did a story on bio diesel.

The end result was that diesel actually gives you more power and you get further on a tank of diesel rather than bio diesel, but the cost saving with bio diesel would far out weigh the power/distance with diesel.
plenty of people already know that though but that's not what you use bio diesel for.
Nissanman:
If you don't have the time to read all the info you probably won't have the time to make it either and if you want to go the biodiesel route you'd probably be better off buying it from someone who makes large batches.
I was investigating making it myself but it was too time-consuming a process for me to do it myself and so I buy it from someone who has the time to make it.

Do yourself a favour mate, spend 10-15 minutes of reading on the below sites, and then you will be able to decide what level of quality you want to aim for, and then work out the costs/time involved.

The questions you keep asking have already been answered - you just need to spend a few minutes to work it out yourself. We cant decide for you how much spare time and money you have, and we cant decide how serious you want to get with your biodiesel.

PS. Can somebody tell me what time i should haven lunch today, what i should get to eat, and what a reasonable price to pay is?? If you could tell me what time the boss expects me back it'd be great too. Cheers!
