How To Make Biodiesel, Save Cash, And Reduce Global Warming.

Let me explain how to make Biodiesel and why making it can go a long way in saving the planet. Climate change and global warming have added a sense of urgency to the search for alternatives to fossil fuel.

One such alternative which is cleaner to burn and produce is Biodiesel. Biodiesel fuel can be easily made from vegetable oil such as soy oil for soy Biodiesel. Using an inexpensive Biodiesel kits, I will now show you how to make Biodiesel easily and cheaply.

Some people like to make complex tasks out of the most simple. I will show how to make Biodiesel with or without Biodiesel Kits. Nothing could be easier!

To make Biodiesel one needs the transesterification of vegetable oil. This can be done at home using a Biodiesel Kit which essentially comprises of a mixing tank, methanol and caustic soda. Methanol is a specialized fuel used for racing which is available from all fuel agents. Caustic soda, a common cleaning agent, can be readily purchased at your local supermarket.

And here is how to make Biodiesel: mix the caustic soda with the methanol. Then mix the resultant brew into the vegetable oil. To make soy Biodiesel, use soy oil. Now settle the mixture in a tapered bottom mixing tank. As the Biodiesel, is lighter than the byproducts of the process (glycerin and detritus) will separate and move to the top. And that's how to make Biodiesel!

Before you go out and purchase a Biodiesel kits, here is a quick and easy recipe to get you started. You will need the following ingredients:

* 500 ml vegetable oil. Soy oil for soy Biodiesel

* 200 ml of methanol alcohol. Make sure the methanol is pure, with no additives

* 500 grams of caustic soda

* A 750 ml glass jar with a screw top

* A small glass jar and wooden stirring stick

This is what you do: Put 100 ml of methanol into the smaller jar. Add 2 grams of caustic soda. Use a wooden stirring stick to crush the caustic soda against the jar bottom and stir into methanol. (Important: this mixture is poisonous and a skin irritant, use gloves and eye protection. Perform this task near a water supply with fresh air flowing. Immediately flush with water if there is any contact with your skin.)

Now put the vegetable oil into the 500 ml glass jar. Add the methanol/caustic mix to the oil, screw on top and agitate for 5 minutes. Within hours the Biodiesel oil will separate. So, do your bit to reduce global warming my using this simple technique to make your own fuel. Unlike refining crude oil, this process is pollution free and will go a long way in managing climate change.
