Straight Vegtable Oil as biodiesel
Fuel
Diesel engines most suited to SVO fuel include
older indirect injection engines manufactured for some
farm trucks and passenger vehicles from the early 1970s
through to the mid-'90s. Some classic direct injection
systems with mechanical fuel pumps will also work on SVO.
The key to making straight canola oil work as a fuel in
diesel engines is in viscosity. The SVO fuel line has a
specially developed in-line heating element, which warms
the oil to about 70 C. Biofuels such as straight
vegetable oil aren't suitable in all engines, in all
circumstances and in all operations. The downside is that
straight vegetable oil (SVO) is much more viscous
(thicker) than conventional diesel fuel or biodiesel, and
it doesn't burn the same in the engine -- many studies
have found that it can damage engines.
Myth: The
point in mixing vegetable oil with unleaded gas/petrol is to
reduce its viscosity so that it will move through the fuel
lines and injector pump without heating even during the winter
months. This is partly true, another reason for adding
gasoline is to thin out the glycerin that is contained in
vegtable oil. Gasoline at about a 10% mix will allow the
glycerin to burn and flow through the filters and pumps
on most engines. Some claim that the even get an increase
in power with this form of biodiesel.
