Our Process - How me make our fuel

People do run their vehicles on straight vegetable oil. Rudolf Diesel designed his first engine to run on peanut oil.   But the diesel engine in trucks and vehicles has moved on since the inventor's time.

" To make our fuel as good as it is filtration and cleaning is the key. "

Our production process is to turn waste vegetable oil into a fuel that any diesel engine can run on.

Biodiesel production steps

These samples are taken at key stages in the production process and clearly demonstrates the importance of effective filtration throughout.

1. WVO: Pre-filtered

2. Biodiesel after reaction and initial glycerol drain

3. After 8 hour settling, final glycerol drain

4. Dry washing using Magnesol. Sample taken from wash tank. Significant improvement in clarity and excellent pH neutralisation at this stage. Magnesium silicate powder still clearly visible at base of sample bottle.

5. Sample taken after the Magnesol Wash unit showing great clarity and further reduction in pH value.

6. After final polishing using the BD6000. Final effective contaminant and mositure removal and yet further reduction in pH values. Cleanliness in accordance with ISO 4406: 16/14/11 - NAS Class 5

" Our production process is to turn waste vegetable oil into a fuel that most diesel engines can run on "

We achieve a fuel which we are proud to sell by sticking to a number of important steps.

We filter our fuel without using water.

We test the bio as we do.

Once it reaches desired standard we then remove any fine particles and monitor all the fuel for particulates.

Again we test it and we only sell fuel which has 18ppm or less. Standard fuel on the forecourt has shown in tests to be 22ppm.

The Fuel

We produce quality Bio-diesel for diesel engines that we sell in 1,000 litre containers or ask you to provide your own 20litre containers so you can take as much as you want, store it at home and fill up at your own leisure. Most people take five 20 litre containers at a time and simply return to have them refilled.

All you need to do is buy a funnel!

This increasingly popular fuel offers a real alternative to fossil fuels and can be mixed with usual diesel in any quantities. This means that if you run out of Bio-diesel you can still fill up with conventional diesel.

Our form of Bio-fuel requires no modification to your engine and is duty paid (it’s legal!), and is much better for the environment, it’s also ‘carbon neutral’. This means that the carbon emitted by your engine is equal to the carbon that the plant uses to grow. Fossil fuels (conventional diesel) on the other hand, take carbon from underground (where it should stay) and puts it into the atmosphere thus helping to significantly increase greenhouse gases and global warming.

It is interesting to note that Rudolph Diesel designed the “Diesel” engine to run on peanut or vegetable oil and not on fossil fuel. The basic design of the engine hasn’t changed that much in all these years. As an environmentalist Rudolph Diesel would be spinning in his grave if he knew his engine had been using fossil fuels and contributing to climate change.

We recommend that when people start using Bio-diesel they mix it 50% with normal diesel just to gain confidence and increase the mix from there.

Many people report improvements in their vehicles performance when using Bio-diesel, including :- Less ‘rattle’ (the vehicle sounds different, softer), better response in acceleration and some say it even smells better. Each vehicle is different and we always like to hear of any changes in your vehicles performance.
