Driving help: Anyone know how to use biodiesel ? - Help.com

If your vehicle is an older model, some changes may be needed. From http://altenergy.in

I’m not sure but i know you can get info from the garage that sells it etc.

Change you feul tubes or they will disintegrate!!!

Hehe yeah you take a diesel car, and have a garage install a conversation kit. There is some work involved.

The grease, that, if you don’t buy it at the store in the form of cooking oil, you have to siphon it from a grease trap/container, you filter the grease and remove the solids, and then pour it into the grease tank.

Yeah but thats slightly different to biodiesil.

If you use that then make sure you get the right mixture. You can buy regular Vegatable oil in big cannisters.

Also i recommend buying a bottle of diesil treatment. It helps if you use oil alot etc. Stops it from wearing out your car.

Nah, one of my friends has a greasecar. :D

You have to contact restaurants…some of them have companies that pick up their grease and they get really upset when you try and take it. Also you don’t want grease that had animal fat in it.

You also have to have a ‘heat element’ to make sure the grease isn’t all congealed…I think. Some grease smells TERRIBLES!!! OMG.

lol. You can buy a converter kit from ebay too !

LOL

but…generally if you don’t know, I’d say look for a shop that installs them and make sure its reputable. One of my friends got screwed on his installation and found out later when his car was in an accident.

Ouch. Bet his wallet had more damage done than the car lol.

I wouldn’t have a clue. But i have a boyfriend with a diesel car..and he’s always banging on about random crap lol. Sometimes if i’m bored i actually pay attention lol.
