This is my BIO DIESEL LIST. If you gat all this together, I'll be grad to help you get it together and make your 1st batch. This is the apple seed process witch allows you to mix regular diesel with it. This WILL NOT work in any diesel 08 & newer.
You will need a 40 gallon electric water heater. Your Choice.
2 or 3 plastic carboys from wal-mart (water containers that will hold your methanol & lye mixture)
I prefer to use clear polyurethane barrels for my wash tanks. Get 1, 55 Gallon barrel
Get you some type of barrel to hold you cooking oil in as it goes into the processor. I use a 55 gallon drum as well w/a kitchen sink drain cut out and put in the bottom. The processor will suck it out of the barrel.
A shit load of hose clamps to fit ¾ OD hose and 5/8 ID. I’d say at least 20 quantity
20 feet of the clear braded hose ¾ OD & 5/8 ID
A 1” clear water pump from Harbor Freight & Tool
8 Brass ¾ ball valves they are a reasonable price at H.F.T. They tend to get pricy at Lowes or Home Depot
Pipe compound. You will need to use more that usual on this than you would use anywhere elts.
2 ¾ unions and some anti seize. Make sure all of you piping is black iron pipe not galvanized if possible.
A lot of this your gona have to use you imagination on putting it together besides looking at my pics and asking me ????’s. You can also get a lot of info. from
www.Biodieselcommunity.org. Get some egg crates to hold up you barrels off the ground
Get 2 of the sink drains to install in the bottom of your oil and wash barrels
55 gallon steel drum. At the bottom, on the side install a water heater heating element, this will be your drying tank after you wash. The wash takes out all of the impurities such as the methanol or any left over glycerin that may be in there still.
Get a automotive mechanical temp. gauge from pepboys or autozone. Needs to show hotter than 100*F at least 160*F because you will heat you oil to 130*F. A ¾” to ½” bushing for you temp gauge.
Make sure all you piping is black not galvanized if possible everything is gona need to be threaded.
2 . 6” pipe nipples
1 ½” check valve
1 ½” brass ball valve
5 ¾ 90* elbows
3 ¾ Tee’s
8 2” close nipples
2 1” to ¾” bushings
2 3/4“ 1’ pipes
4 ¾” 8” pipes
1 ¾” 4way tee
I’m sure you will have more ???’s. I’ll be here to answer them to the best of my knowledge.
