Bio Diesel Fuel : DigInfo

Posted in Diesel Oil on February 27th, 2010 by diesel engine – 2 Comments

diginfo - movie.diginfo.tv With global warming slowly becoming widespread, a special focus is placed on bio diesel fuel, oil made from plants such as sunflower, benas, palm oil, sugar canes, and waste oil. The carbon dioxide emitted from these bio diesel fuels are carbon neutrals which has the same quality as carbon dioxide emitted from plants during photosynthesis, and does not add up to the carbon dioxide in the air. The bio diesel fuel refining method was made even eco-friendlier by utilizing BIOMAX biomax, a catalyst used in refining bio diesel fuel process emits no waste water since it does’t use water and can reduce the processing time by half compared with conventional alkaline based catalyst, using potassium hydroxide. It is safe to use and less costly. Compared with potassium hydroxide, which took 85 yen to make one liter of oil, it only takes 50 yen and what’s more, the oil produced is of better and higher quality.

Purifying Waste Cooking Oil for Fuel (1/4)

Posted in Diesel Oil on February 26th, 2010 by diesel engine – 5 Comments

This is a short series showing you my VERY LOW COST, HIGHLY EFFECTIVE system for de-watering, settling and filtering waste oil for use as a diesel supplement/alternative (subject to suitability). Two Systems are shown; one for absolute filth contaminated with food/water/cigarette ends/fat, and the other for visibly clear oil only (simpler system). All components are selected for cheapness and availability. The final filtration is done through vacuum cleaner bags (Henry’s are good)….they can be burned for fuel when clogged with solid fats (see FATLOG series). Go ahead and emancipate yourself from fuel slavery. Other guidance (you must verify as current and valid) Currently in the UK you do not require a ‘Waste Carriers Licence’ if you are collecting for your own use; you can use 2500L/yr before registeing with HMCE to pay duty (about 30p/L), but you must keep a record of what you have used.

Gas storage, how to avoid shortages! Peak oil, fuel, crisis

Posted in Diesel Oil on February 25th, 2010 by diesel engine – 25 Comments

In this video we are going to look at how to store gasoline. This will help you to avoid shortages as some recently have experienced in the Southeast. In a true SHTF situation, you are going to need gasoline for many things including: vehicles (if still working), chainsaws, tillers, lawnmowers (yep your still going to have to mow every so often to keep down fire hazards and to cut down on possible concealed entry corridors), generators, water pumps, log splitters, etc. Left by itself, gasoline typically has problems in a fairly short period of time. It must be properly treated and put in good quality storage containers. Do NOT trust your gas to the cheapie red plastic cans from walmart. I personally would be leery of using any plastic containers to store gas LONG TERM, but that’s just me. Sit down and think about how much gas you use in a year around your homestead or survival retreat. Examples- 5 gallons for chainsaws and log splitter, 5 gallons for lawnmower, 5 gallons for garden tiller, 5 gallons for misc. hauling tasks around the homestead, etc. Treated fuel would be a good barter item also. tags- survivalist, survival, fuel shortage, storage, gas, diesel, homestead, peak oil, self reliance, preparedness, oil crisis, oil drum, fuel tank, gasoline, ethanol, bio fuel diesel, rationing, food storage, logistics, survival retreat, survival report, PRI fuel preservative, 911, Alex Jones, whatever else brings people in :)

Midnight oil - Sometimes

Midnight oil - Sometimes. Diesel and dust.1986.”I know that the sunset empire shudders and shakes I know there’s a floodgate and a raging river I say the silence of the ribbons of iron and steel I say hear the punch drunk huddle drive hammer and steel Sometimes you’re beaten to the call Sometimes you’re taken to the wall But you don’t give in I know that the cannibals wear smart suits and ties I know they arm wrestle on the altar I say don’t leave your heart in a hard place Sometimes you’re shaken to the core Sometimes the face is gonna fall But you don’t give in”
