	WASTE VEGETABLE OIL AS A FUEL
		Conversion of waste oils and fats to biodiesel fuel is one possibility but poses some difficulties such as in the use of toxic or caustic materials and by-product disposal.
		However oils of vegetable and animal origin, unlike fossil fuels, have to potential to be produced not only on a sustainable basis but also could be greenhouse gas neutral, or at the very least, emit substantially less greenhouse gases per unit energy than do any of the fossil fuels.
		It was found that the used oil usually becomes cloudy and this was found to be a combination of the oil starting to solidify due to partial de-unsaturation of the oil from use and minor water content.

	Waste vegetable oil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As of 2003, the use of waste vegetable oil in animal feed is no longer permitted in the European Union, but continues in the United States.
		They run poorly on unmodified vegetable oil, with a risk of damage - the fine ports of injectors can be clogged by carbon which forms from the slow or incomplete combustion of heavier fractions of vegetable oil, while the injection pump may suffer premature wear due to the fuel's relatively poor lubricating properties.
		As of 2000, the United States were producing in excess of 11 billion liters of waste vegetable oil annually, mainly from industrial deep fryers in potato processing plants, snack food factories and fast food restaurants.

	Waste vegetable oil Info - Bored Net - Boredom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Waste Vegetable Oil (WVO) is vegetable oil that has become unfit for food preparation due to chemical degradation (oxidation, hydrogenation) and/or accumulation of contaminants.
		WVO may be used as waste SVO (after hot-water-wash) in diesel engines and to produce soap too.
		Waste vegetable oil has a stable market value of approximately USD 0.40 per gallon as of 2003, enough to make collection economically viable.

	Waste Oil Burning Facts
		Waste oil can quite literally be oil that is drained from a vehicle during an oil change or drained from a fast food deep fryer.
		Waste oils can also be used transmission oils, cooking and vegetable oils, hydraulic oils, combustible synthetic oils or any oils up to 50 S.A.E. With the flip of a switch our burner will safely burn #1 and #2 fuel oils.
		Because waste oil is truly a waste product that cannot be safely dumped into the ground, landfills or waterways, commercial entities that generate large quantities of waste oil must typically pay a third party for proper disposal.

	Waste Oil Fuel Sources
		For businesses that produce these waste oils as by-products of their primary business, utilizing used oil as a source of heating fuel reduces your fuel costs to ZERO.
		Waste oil recyclers pick up waste oil products from area businesses, filter it and then make it available for resale.
		By providing it to you for use in your waste oil heating system, they save the disposal cost and you have significant savings on your heating fuel.

		Using restaurant waste vegetable oil as feedstock, one would expect the fossil energy balance to be much better because of the much limited number of operations needed to obtain the feedstock.
		Term for the chemical reaction between vegetable oil and methanol using potassium hydroxide as a catalyst to produce biodiesel fuel and glycerol.
		Because WVO is a waste product, the energy balance can exclude the energy involved in crop agriculture, transporting the crop to crushers, extracting the vegetable oil at the crusher, and transport of vegetable oil to the restaurants.

		The vegetable oil is then poured into a 15-gallon tank that sits in the back of her Jetta, where a spare tire would usually be kept.
		Vegetable oil is becoming such a rage that a Massachusetts company called Greasecar is buying it in bulk from a distributor and selling it to local customers for 90 cents a gallon, said company founder Justin Carven.
		The oil must be heated because it is thicker and tends to congeal in the cold weather, Carven said.

	More About Waste Vegetable Oil as Fuel
		In order for WVO to be used as diesel fuel, it needs to be de-watered and pre-filtered (to 5 microns) before putting it in your engine, then filtered and heated in your vehicle before it reaches your injectors.
		The most common way to heat the oil is to use the waste heat of your engine, re-directing it out of the coolant system.
		People who use this design say that the amount of WVO that makes it into their diesel tank is not enough to worry about, as long as you keep your tank over 50% full.

	Waste Vegetable oil - Topic Powered by eve community
		When I was decanting the whole 50 litres last night I noticed that about 80% of the WVO was really nice looking and looked practically unused, just like the WVO I used for the litre batches.
		About the last 20% was made up of what I presume to be the animal fats that were in the oil due to whatever was cooked in it.
		My question is: do I use this fatty oil as well and just mix it with the very good vegetable oil or do I scrap it as I'm sure it is fully of free fatty acids and hence hard to convert to biodiesel with the simple base stage which I want to use?

	Straight vegetable oil as diesel fuel: Journey to Forever
		Vegetable oil can be used as diesel fuel just as it is, without being converted to biodiesel.
		WVO is usually pre-filtered to the original specifications for the injection pump, usually 10 microns, sometimes 5 microns, sometimes less.
		The more people use straight vegetable oil, with whatever system, good or bad, the more likely it is that the car manufacturers will start to take some notice and begin to realise that there is a market for true multi-fuel capability diesel engines, and put some research and development effort into it at last.

	Make your own biodiesel: Journey to Forever
		Still, for every gallon of vegetable oil you use, that's one gallon of fossil-fuel saved, and that much less climate-changing carbon in the atmosphere.
		Meanwhile we'd warmed the 10 litres of new oil in a 20-litre steel oil drum to about 40 deg C (104 deg F) to thin it so it mixed better (55 deg C, 131 deg F, is a better processing temperature).
		Water in vegetable oil can exist as free water, which will eventually settle to the bottom of a vessel; as suspended droplets, which may settle if the oil is heated, or the droplets are coalesced; and as water in solution with other impurities in the oil.

	An Elsbett single tank VW TDI waste vegetable oil conversion
		Assuming I use free waste fryer oil and my time is free, I should recover the cost of the kit in just over one year.
		Some wvo'ers de-acidify their wvo by mixing it with water and letting the acid transfer to the water, then settling or boiling off the water.
		I'm guessing that if a WVO and kerosene blend had the same viscosity of B100 biodiesel, it would no be a problem to start it cold at 10F. So I diluted the WVO* with 30-40% kerosene.

	Negotiating For Waste Vegetable Oil - Collaborative Biodiesel Tutorial
		Usually the most "available" (read as inexpensive) vegoil is wvo (waste vegoil) so this is the option I usually recommend investigating first.
		Having "permission" from a restaurant that does not legally own the wvo will not be a defense if you are caught and prosecuted/sued by the grease hauler whose dumpster you are removing wvo from.
		Even if there are just drums or cubees of wvo sitting out back of a restaurant it may not be OK to simply take the wvo contained.

	WVO Waste Vegetable Oil Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers by SEC Heat Exchangers
		Such vehicles often have two fuel tanks, one for petrodiesel, biodiesel or a mixture of the two, for use in starting the engine, the other for the vegetable oil or WVO which is the main fuel.
		After starting and running for a short time to allow the fuel heating system to come into operation, the fuel supply is switched to the heated vegetable oil.
		One is to let the waste vegetable oil settle for at least two weeks to allow suspended sediments (food particles) and water to settle out in the bottom.

	SitNews - Fill'er Up with Waste Vegetable Oil By Marie L. Monyak
		Anchorage is discussing the use of Biodiesel, a blend of diesel and used cooking oil, generally a 90/10 or 80/20 mix, whereas the conversion Holstrom is using calls for 100% used cooking oil.
		It should be explained that because vegetable oil tends to congeal at colder temperatures it must be warmed.
		The vehicle must be started first on diesel until the WVO has warmed sufficiently to flow freely, then with the flick of a switch the engine begins burning the WVO held in an auxiliary tank.

	TheDieselStop.Com Forums: Centrifuging Waste Vegetable Oil
		Maybe the oil with the stuff you guys are trying to remove could be used in a waste oil burner.
		However, I have hopes that a washing machine can be made to actually centrifuge WVO in clean oil by "precipitating" the particles with centripedel force and catching the clean oil in the outer (non-rotating) drum and pump it out with the existing pump.
		This assumes that the particles do not migrate with the oil to the top of the wall of the rotating drum were drilled holes will permit the clean oil to flow to the outer drum.

	YouTube - waste vegetable oil filtering & dewater
		I think the higher the oil's ambient temp and the longer it settles the cleaner it will be.
		Letting oil settle - 2 weeks or more - is the first step in filtering because all the heavy particles settle to the bottom.
		The amount of water is very low in the oil, this plus that I do not process much oil means I do not drain the bottom sludge much - I haven't drained it yet.
