Alternative fuel proves to be more cost effective than fossil fuels

Friday, 23 June, 2006

Biodieselathome.net, a company aimed at spreading information about alternative fuels has introduced instructions for making inexpensive alternative fuels at home.

The introduction of this information will allow visitors to the site to make biodiesel at home, the innovative alternative fuel derived from vegetable oil.

Biodiesel is a clean burning fuel alternative that is produced from domestic resources, such as soybeans. It can be used in diesel engines without any modifications, making it the best biodegradable, non-toxic form of fuel available.

Unlike the usual vegetable oil based fuels that can only be used in modified, specially made combustion-ignition engines, biodiesel can be used in its simplest form to power the everyday diesel engines on the market today.

Biodiesel is made through the simple chemical process of transesterification. During this process, the glycerin is removed from fat or vegetable oil. The process naturally leaves behind by-products, including methyl esters, which is the chemical name for biodiesel, and glycerin, commonly used in soap production. Biodiesel is free of sulphur and aromatics unlike traditional fuels.

Biodieselathome.net represents the latest information concerning biodiesel kits, news, and even legislation. The company also provides information on purchasing kits and tanks to assist readers at home in producing their alternative fuel.
