Oil As A Diesel Replacement Fuel - Phillip Calais & AR (Tony)
Clark - In the past, waste edible oils and fats were often used in the
production of animal feeds. However, the use of waste fats for animal
feed is not as common as it once was and this has resulted in surplus
quantities becoming available. This has led to significant disposal
problems. An alternative to the use of biodiesel is the use of vegetable
oils or rendered animal fats as a fuel. Using relatively unmodified oils
or fats eliminates the problems associated with toxic and caustic
precursor chemicals and residual biodiesel alkalinity as the oil is used
without altering its chemical properties. This paper discusses the use
of waste vegetable and animal oils and fats as unmodified fuels in
compression ignition engines.

- Frybrid Vegetable Oil Fuel Systems -
Frybrid manufactures commercial conversion systems which ensures that
the vegetable oil is adequately heated, and that the engine is up to
operating temperature, preventing lube oil polymerization and combustion
chamber carbon build-up.
- PlantDrive™ - PlantDrive provides high quality
kits and components for the conversion of diesel engines to use 100%
vegetable oil as fuel without chemical processing or addition of harmful
chemicals

About Oilgae - Oilgae - Oil & Biodiesel from Algae
has a focus on biodiesel production from algae while also discussing
alternative energy in general. Algae present an exciting possibility as a
feedstock for biodiesel, and when you realise that oil was originally
formed from algae - among others - you think "Hey! Why not oil
again from algae!"
To facilitate exploration of oil production from algae as well as exploration
of other alternative energy avenues, Oilgae provides web links, directory,
and related resources for algae-based biofuels / biodiesel along with inputs
on new inventions, discoveries & breakthroughs in other alternative
energy domains such as solar, wind, nuclear, hydro, geothermal, hydrogen
& fuel cells, gravitational, geothemal, human-powered, ocean & wave /
tidal energy.
