More and more people choose to use biodiesel as their alternative fuel for their diesel vehicle. Anyone who's been paying attention has heard talk about alternative fuels, including biofuels, and how alternative fuels and alternative fuel vehicles are good for the environment as well as the fact that they allow countries to reduce their dependence on foreign oil.
A great many biodiesel producers great their raw material from restaurant grease dumpsters as most restaurants are only to happy to get rid of the stuff. Animal fats like tallow and lard are also being used as a raw material for biodiesel production. Only diesel engines that have natural rubber parts instead of synthetic rubber parts cannot use biodiesel, but these engines are not as common as the engines that can use the biodiesel.
This fuel is made out of vegetable oil and costs considerably lesser than the conventional fuel. There is also ongoing research into using sewage grow algae which is then used in the refining process. The process of homemade biodiesel production is similar to making soap.
It's also biodegradable and non-toxic, which makes it a more environmentally friendly alternative. The fuel should be stored in a clean, dry, dark environment.
