What Is What - Definitions For This Forum
Per requests from several on the forum, the following is what is what:
Please PM me if anyone sees anything that should be added.
B20 Mix of 20% biodiesel and 80% Diesel
Bio Diesel is fuel made from oil through a process called transesterifacation. That is the seperation of the glycerine from the esters in the oil. This is what the methanol and lye do. The glycerine is the waste and the esters is the bio-d.
Blended Vegetable Oil Mixing Vegetable oil with a thinning agent to lower the viscosity of the Vegetable Oil so it pumps and injects more like diesel.
FPHE Flat Plate Heat Exchanger
RUG Regular Unleaded Gasoline
SVO is new straight veggie oil (any kind, never used). May also need heated, like WVO.
ULSD Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel
WVO is used veggie oil, usually picked up from a restaurant or food processing plant. Once processed it may need to be warmed in your tank or pickup in colder weather so your engine can use it.
I will edit as I come across clearer or other definitions.
