What is Make Your Own Biodiesel Fuel about?

Using converted vegetable oils and animal fats as an alternative to Petrol-Diesel fuel has been around for decades. The original Diesel engine was designed to run on cheap vegetable oils. The engine was commonly demonstrated running on peanut oil. The process of converting vegetable oils into Biodiesel is called Transesterification. An alcohol and a catalyst is mixed with the oil in order to “crack” the oil into Esters and Glycerol. During this process, the catalyst allows the alcohol to substitute itself for the Glycerin, and the heavier Glycerin falls out of the mixture, leaving alkyl esters. The Glycerol is removed and what remains is the “alkyl esters of fatty acids” commonly known as Biodiesel. Biodiesel can be made from a wide range of easily renewable plant oil sources and animal fats even waste oils thrown away by most restaurants.
