As biofuels continue to garner interest and support within the agricultural industry, many farmers who produce oilseed crops are at the centre of an exciting and evolving industry. Environmentally this fuel has proven to be a much less pollutant than its counterpart, the standard diesel.
In the process they discovered that just about any kind of vegetable or animal oil that we use to cook with today can be processed into biodiesel fuel. Water accelerates microbe colonies which shorten the life cycle of the paper filter elements that result in premature failure of the fuel pump. There is still a need to improve the processing method and its quality.
It is rather simple once you have a grasp of the fundamental principle of how to produce biofuel. It can be used in compression-ignition, diesel engines with little or no modifications. The dilemma seems to be that biodiesel is undoubtedly greener than traditional petroleum based fuel.
Once you get the hang of it making biodiesel at home is a great way to cut your reliance on the big oil companies for your energy needs. Most people who refine this alternative fuel are more then willing to share their knowledge because that's the best way to advertise its benefits.
