Recycled Vegetable Oil As Fuel for the Diesel Engine

Totally proud to personally know this guy

I drove my Mercedes 190D 2.0 on used cooking sunflower oil, it had a funny smell from exaust. I started mixing it with diesel for better cold starts

[@DWREV]

Thanks for sharing! What was the smell? Fried food?

[@kristoffermangila]

Not the first vehicle being powered by used cooking oil... in the US, at least two tourist railroads uses used cooking oil: the Grand Canyon Railway in Arizona, and the steam locomotive operations of US Sugar Corporation in Clewiston, Florida.

Never ending supply

[@bayersbluebayoubioweapon8477]

You’d attract an eco-conscious crowd in addition to people there for the food

won’t be enough, oils sadly are not changed that regularly to have enough to run a vehicle, but is a good idea still.

I’m in Jamaica over 1 year now I’m running my truck on WVO

[@DWREV]

How interesting. Maybe you can write more about this? Best

[@grahamb701]

My brother-in-law tried that. The exhaust smelled like fish & chips!

[@DWREV]

😄 Where do you live?

He didn't use the cooking oil directly as in this video but it was cleaned and processed first.

[@DWREV]

@@grahamb701 maybe you can send us some pics to [e-mail]

[@grahamb701]

If he still has the vehicle I will be able to get a picture or two for you.

1 Stone 2 Birds, Fuel and Handling of used Cooking Oil

[@n21igel]

knowing that it's possible for Euro2 or earlier Specifications Diesel Engines ❗ Euro3 and subsequent Spec could not likely enjoy such. Mainly due to much much higher System Pressure ‼️

[@stormcallergaming]

usually when making biofuel from oil you have to heat it up and then add a mixture of methanol and potassium hydroxide to the fuel and leave it to separate into bio diesel and glycerin, so how does his car run, because its a mixture between the oil and diesel so the car at least runs on 50% diesel to optimality run properly. in terms of chemistry this does not make sense if he just drives on pure bio diesel so maybe next time give a better explanation so people aren't mislead.

[@DWREV]

Thanks for the info and feedback. It’s noted 👍

[@blackrama5643]

well he doesnt drive on biodiesel he drives on pure diesel and after heating up pure vegetable oil. Dont see what wasnt clear there. Besides the diesel engine was first presented running on peanut oil. Diesel wasnt invented / produced back then

[@ameerdeenaufarfrahan1158]

No need much modification just open the governor for my ban im using diesel and cooked coconut oil and crooked Palm oil im using a Toyota townace

[@shakebraza196]

😒 that's not sustainable.
