The Bio pro 190 will be here Thurs from Calif, the first order of chemical reagents have been ordered, and we'll soon be underway. Here are some websites that describe the benefits of using, methods for making, and what to expect from using biodiesel.
1. http://utahbiodieselsupply.com/whybiodiesel.php This site explains the machine we'll be using, has links to other related biodiesel web sites, and has sites for ordering paraphernalia related to biodiesel production.
2. http://www.biodieselcommunity.org/ This is another general information site for biodiesel fans.
These two websites will give most of the general information about our project. It should reassure that the fuel we'll be making will be higher quality than what we have been buying for our trucks.
Truck Modifications:
While biodiesel is better for our engines than petroleum diesel (better lubricative properties, burns cleaner, etc.) , using biodiesel will initially work off some fuel line particles and move them into the fuel filters. Before we start the project, it would be good to
1) get our oil changed
2) get our fuel filters changed.
After we start using biodiesel, oil changes won't be needed any more frequently that before (actually less because there is less engine wear with biodiesel). After 500 miles, though, it would be good to change the fuel filters again to removed cleansed fuel line particulates from the filters. After that, regular fuel line maintenance is sufficient.
