what equipments do i need to convert waste oil to biodeisel and how much do they cost?

Answer 1

Welcome aboard! This is possibly one of your best new year resolutions, making biodiesel yourself!
Home system costs between US$600-3000
If you recycle "scraps" from your garage, it possibly costs less than $200.
To get a sense of what it is, a $20 kit available here:

Answer 2

I dont know the cost.. its not that significant
you do need filters you do need some chemicals

you dont need any bypass valves or wahtever, if yourcar runs on diesel then it will happily run on anythign else.
for that matter diesel engines can and do run quite happily on cooking oil.. they can be a bit of a pig to start though

the potential killer is the Grapsing Gordon at the treasury and his minions will no tbe happy that you are avoiding giving them the tax they nroamlly rake off vehicle fuel sales.... I forgot the figure its around 30..50p per litre.

wonder what google would say....

Answer 3

From what I understand you need primarily a filtering system to clean out the oil. You also need to have your car converted with a dual valve, one that comes from standard diesel and the other from the new source. You also need a pre-heaters.

I've heard that the total coversions cost anywhere from $100 to $500 depending on what you want and who does the work.

Yu generally have to start the car with Diesel and then switch to cooking oil after it warms up.
