Are you ready to break free from big oil, become self-sufficient, and never visit a gas station again? Then you've come to the right spot!

Here you'll learn how you can make your own diesel-replacement fuel called Biodiesel for about a $1.50 a gallon that can be run in most diesel vehicles.

We'll walk you through the simple steps and information you'll need to know to get started making your own fuel and driving past the gas stations! We also provide links at the bottom of each section to additional information so you can learn as much or as little as you'd like about each topic discussed.

So, sit back, pull up a chair, grab some popcorn, and get ready to learn how to start living gas station free!


WHAT IS BIODIESEL?
Biodiesel is a replacement for diesel fuel that can be used in most diesel engines. It has properties that allow it to burn and perform similar to diesel fuel making it an ideal replacement to petroleum based diesel fuel.

Biodiesel can be made from plant oils such as soybean oil, canola oil, cottonseed oil, and others or from animal fats such as beef or chicken tallow or pork lard. It can also be made from used fryer oil that's discarded by restaurants as a waste product; which is what we'll be focusing on. So, yes, that really means you can make fuel out of what restaurants consider to be garbage! I tend to think of it as liquid gold...and soon you may think the same as well!

Because Biodiesel can be used as a direct replacement for diesel fuel in most diesel powered vehicles, this means that you can make Biodiesel yourself at a fraction of the cost per gallon of what you would normally pay for diesel fuel! In fact, in most cases people are producing their own Biodiesel for less than a $1.50 per gallon! Not bad eh?

WHY USE BIODIESEL?
We think there's several reasons to use this great renewable resource! Here's a few that really stand out & make a case for using Biodiesel!

It's Economical, Keeps Your Dollars Here, Reduces Dependence On Foreign Oil
You can make Biodiesel anywhere from $0.75/gallon to $1.50/gallon depending on the cost of materials required to make it. That beats buying fuel at the pump! Instead of your hard-earned cash going to fund foreign oil producing nations that in many cases hate us, you get to keep your money on our shores--and use it to fund OUR economy! Talk about a great benefit! Also, by using vegetable oil, you're helping to support our farmers who grow the seed-crops that vegetable oil is made from!
Learn Even More Benefits Of Using Biodiesel Here


HOW TO USE BIODIESEL
To use Biodiesel in a diesel engine, simply pour it into the fuel tank and use the engine as normal. Biodiesel can also be used in a blend with petro-diesel as well. You can even add it to diesel already in the fuel tank!

Compatible Diesel Engines
In most cases, any diesel vehicle made before 2007 can handle up to 100% Biodiesel without any problem at all. Many 2007 and newer vehicles are able to handle blends up to about 20% Biodiesel.
See Our List Of Recommended Diesels For Biodiesel
Learn More About Using Biodiesel In 2007 & Newer Diesels Here

Fuel Filters & Fuel Lines
When Biodiesel is first used in diesel vehicles, it's recommended to replace the fuel filter. This is because Biodiesel has a cleaning effect on diesel fuel tanks & fuel lines causing all the gunk left behind from regular petro diesel to be "cleaned out". Also, on diesel vehicles older than 1995, you may need to replace any rubber fuel lines with synthetic Viton rubber hoses as well.

HOW TO MAKE BIODIESEL

Step 1
Obtain some waste vegetable oil, filter it, and load it into a Biodiesel Processor.

Step 2
Heat the oil up to 130-135° F.

Step 3
Measure how acidic the oil is by doing something called a titration. It's simple to do and can be done in under 5 minutes!

Step 4
Mix up methanol (racing fuel) and catalyst (either lye or caustic potash) to make something called Methoxide.

Step 5 & 6
Pour the methoxide into the processor & mix it for 2-3 hours.

Step 7 & 8
The oil will separate into Biodiesel & Glycerin. Drain off the Glycerin layer.

Step 9, 10 & 11
Wash the Biodiesel with water to remove any remaining contaminants. Allow the water to separate from the Biodiesel. Then drain off dirty water.

Step 12, 13 & 14
Drain off the water, transfer it to a drying tank, and then dry out the fuel. After the fuel is dry, fill up the fuel tank on your diesel engine vehicle and drive away!

We personally make all of our Biodiesel in a BioPro 190 and love how easy it is to use! We've made literally thousands of gallons of Biodiesel in our BioPro and continue to make batch after batch! The BioPro's are available in 3 different sizes to meet your individual needs and can even be accessorized with equipment that can shorten the time it takes to make a batch! Check out all three below!

The BioPro 150 Automated Biodiesel Processor
The BioPro 150 is the smallest BioPro in the lineup. It can make up to 40 gallons of Biodiesel every 48 hours. It's not quite as automated as the other BioPro's and requires the user to manually drain the wash water after each wash cycle. However, it's still made from heavy duty 304 stainless steel and is still made with industrial grade pumps and motors.

It has a small footprint of 21" wide, 21" deep and stands just 57" high. It's small, compact size means it'll take up very little room while still churning out batch after batch of high-quality Biodiesel!

The BioPro 190 Automated Biodiesel Processor
The BioPro 190 is by far our most popular automated Biodiesel processor! It can make up to 50 gallons of Biodiesel every 48 hours and can be accessorized to make it even faster! To use it, simply pour the oil & chemicals in, push a button and let the machine do the rest of the work! Even the wash & dry cycle is automated!

The BioPro 190 requires a 120 volt outlet, a water in connection, and a drain connection. After hooking it up, just pour in the oil & chemicals & watch the magic happen! Within a matter of hours you'll have golden amber colored Biodiesel that's ready to use in your vehicle for a fraction of the price you'd pay at the gas pump!


Learn More About The BioPro 190 Automated Biodiesel Processor

The BioPro 380 Automated Biodiesel Processor
Need higher output but like the automation? Then the BioPro 380 might be what you're looking for! This monster can output 100 gallons of high quality Biodiesel every 48 hours and when accessorized with a SpringPro T76 and an INCOSEP accellerator can do it in a mind-blowing 13 hours! That's nearly 1200 gallons a week!

We've used several BioPro 380's over the years and have been amazed at how well these machines can pump out batch after high quality batch of Biodiesel! They're not even all that much bigger than a BioPro 190 either! They stand 86" tall are 63" wide and 33" deep. The BioPro 380 does require both a 120 volt and a 240 volt electrical outlet to run plus the same water in connection and drain pipe of a BioPro 190, but it definitely makes up for it in the volume it can output and the full automation that it gives the user to make Biodiesel!

The SpringPro T76 Dry Wash Tower
When Biodiesel is made, typically water is used to remove the contaminants from the fuel. However, over the years, some very smart folks figured out that the contaminants can also be removed by passing the Biodiesel through a column of fiber based material and polymer resin beads charged with a special chemical. They call it Dry Washing Biodiesel and it can work extremely well!

The same company that make the BioPro automated biodiesel processors manufacturer one of these Biodiesel dry washing systems and they call it a SpringPro T76 Dry Wash Tower. Inside the first tower is a fiber-based media that absorbs much of the remaining contaminants from freshly made Biodiesel. Then, the Biodiesel is passed through the second column which is filled with polymer resin beads that final polish the fuel making it ready for use in vehicles.

One of the benefits of Dry Washing Biodiesel is that you can cleanse the fuel much faster! Instead of the 24 hours that it takes to water wash Biodiesel in the BioPro's, it can wash 100 Gallons in a BioPro 380 in 5 hours, 2.5 hours to wash 50 gallons from a BioPro 190, and 2 hours to wash 40 gallons from a BioPro 150! Yep! That's fast!

ADDITIONAL BIODIESEL PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT

To make Biodiesel, it's helpful to have a few additional pieces of equipment around. These include such things as oil collection drums at the restaurants, transfer pumps to move the oil around with, filters to filter the waste vegetable oil with, scales to measure out the chemicals, plus several other helpful items.

While each situation and setup is unique, we've created a great article that covers the basic things that should be considered for every Biodiesel production area; big or small. We start from the beginning and work our way through all the different steps you'll be doing when making Biodiesel and discuss the relevant equipment you may want to obtain before starting to make Biodiesel.

BIODIESEL PRODUCTION COSTS & RETURN ON INVESTMENT
One of the great things about Biodiesel is that it can be made for such a small cost per gallon.

Here's a breakdown of the typical costs for a 50 gallon batch of Biodiesel.

Assuming diesel is $3.75 per gallon, you would be saving $3.13 for every gallon you produced. That's $156.50 saved just on a 50 gallon batch of Biodiesl! But let's see how that adds up.

Lets assume you use 50 gallons every week & watch the savings add up.
$626 saved every month
$1878 saved every 3 months
$3756 saved every 6 months
$7512 saved every year!

Now, let's assume you spend about $2500 in equipment just to get set up & see how quickly you'll be able to recoup your investment:

In just 16 weeks, or 4 months, your investment would be paid for and you'd be continuing to save money batch after bath! Talk about a great return on investment!
