Re: Anyone tried this "diesel secret energy" additive instead of making biodiesel?
Total scam. Problem is, too many people believe that the only problem with running WVO is the viscosity. but that is simply not the case. Viscosity is only a part of the complete equation. Coking being another, corrosive affects from contaminants such as water and sodium hydroxide another, and polymerization yet another. In my somewhat limited testing, some of the current diesel additives actually serve to decrease WVO stability and cause it to polymerize easier and more aggressively which will foul out a lot of stuff real quick.
If you are going to mix stuff with WVO to thin it, stick with diesel derived products, and keep it modest. such as Kerosene, and not more than about 75/25 diesel/WVO to play it safe. Biofuels (SVO or Bio) are a great source of cheaper fuel, but is not cheap or easy to get started into. The cheaper you do it, the more likely you will have problems. Unfortunate truth of the matter is, Takes money to make money. And this is no exception.
