To Prepare Homebrew Diesel With the Help of the Fresh Vegetable Cooking Oil

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008
Muna wa Wanjiru asked:


Biodiesel is arguably the best alternative for the petroleum fuel. It can be used as fuel in diesel engines. The reason for it being called as the biodiesel is that it is prepared from the biodegradable material. You also have a choice to use it in its pure form or you can then blend it with petroleum diesel.

Homebrew diesel is quite easy to prepare. Still you should take the proper care by getting the proper equipments as well as the proper clothing. The following is the method to prepare homebrew diesel with the help of the fresh vegetable cooking oil, but before you start you will need the following things;

* A blender with a glass jar;

* A weight measurement scale;

* One quart jar;

* One hand pump;

* Fresh vegetable oil;

* One liquid measuring cup;

* Sodium hydroxide;

* Methanol;

Now before starting, let all the material get warm to at least 1310 F. Then put on the necessary shielding equipments like the gloves, goggles, respirator, and so on. Take one cup of methanol in the blender. Put 3.4 grams of sodium hydroxide and add to the methanol in the blender. Cover the blender and blend the mixture for about 5 minutes at low speed. You will now find that the mixture in the blender is sodium methoxide. This is a strong base and you should avoid coming in contact with the mixture.

Now, add one quart of fresh vegetable cooking oil into the mixture in the blender and with all due precautions, blend them at a low speed for half an hour. Now let the mixture to set at normal room temperature for a minimum of 8 hours. You will find that the mixture has now two layers. One of them is alight coloured and is floating on top of the other layer, a dark coloured layer. The dark coloured layer is called the glycerol, while the other lighter fluid is the biodiesel. You can now pump out the diesel with the help of the hand pump.

Homebrew diesel is quite easy to prepare and it also gives you another option. You can also prepare biodiesel with the help of the used or the waste biodiesel. The waste oil is more acidic than the fresh vegetable oil and hence can be more efficient. Because of the presence of the higher fatty acids, the amount of catalyst required is more. To determine how much of the catalyst is required, you will have to do the titration.

After the titration, you can determine the amount of the catalyst required and then you may proceed. You will have to utilize the whole amount of sodium hydroxide. When this is done proceed with the same steps to prepare the biodiesel as followed in the method to prepare the biodiesel from fresh cooking oil. After the completion of the process, you will find that the there are more layers present than the first one. The layer which is white in colour and is in between the glycerol and the diesel is the soap. It is a by product and comes even if there is minute amount of water in the oil.

Do I have to buy a food processor to puree veggies and fruits, or will a blender be good enough?

Sindee asked:


I have a KitchenAid blender, so it’s good quality. I won’t need to puree any meats, so veggies and fruits only. I do want them to be pretty smooth though. Thanks so much!

PsP Games - Review of PsP Blender

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008
Paul Schmitt asked:


PsP games and downloads can be a very good way to get new games for your psp hand held. You can get psp games from many different websites. Most of these sites include psp music downloads, psp movie downloads and psp software downloads and of course PsP Games. Many of the databases are different from one site to another. Some sites offer a wide variety of different choices.

There are some things you should consider when choosing a site for psp games, is the ease of the download. The amount of time the download takes is another import aspect. This can be different from site to site. I have found that psp blender is one of the most popular sites that my friends are using. The download time is quick and they make it very easy to download the psp games, psp music and psp downloads software.

By now I have tried almost every site on the web and still psp blender ranks number one for my friends and I. There are quite a few sites that do offer a one time unlimited membership for under fifty dollars. This is a great way to get unlimited psp downloads without having to pay for new games, music and movies over and over again.

PsP Blender offers their site with a one-time membership fee for fewer than forty dollars. This is a great deal. Remember you usually get what you pay for from one site to another. I have tried other sites charging the same fees for less quality and quantity of psp downloads. Click here

When you have a wide variety of choice with psp games, music, movies, and more it will be like have a new psp in your hand every day. You will never get board playing the same thing over and over again.

One advantage to this is if you choose a game that sounds good and exciting and then you find it is a boring game you can just go back and try another. If you went to the store and bought one you would be stuck with that game and then have to buy another. It is truly great to have a choice and availability of so many games at your fingertips.

If you have already chosen a site to get your psp games that your not very satisfied with I would strongly recommend you try psp blender. You check their site out by clicking on the link at the top of my website. I know you will find continuous fun and great psp downloads if you decide to choose psp blender. Click here

I will continue to try out new sites as they come online. When I see a site that is worthwhile I will post a review on it. So come back from time to time to see what is new.

Please visit some of my other sites PsP Game Downloads and PsP Games
