Hate
paying
$3
or
more
for
diesel
fuel?
A
new
company
develops
a
way
to
convert
waste
vegetable
oil
into
diesel
fuel
-
for
as
little
as
45¢
a
gallon.

As
the
price
of
diesel
fuel
continues
to
soar
to
record-high
levels,
consumers
have
had
little
recourse
but
to
bite
the
bullet
and
cough
up
the
dough.
Now,
a
California
startup,
Biofuel
Basics,
is
fighting
back.
The
company
has
developed
a
simple
new
method
that
allows
virtually
anyone
to
make
biodiesel
fuel
from
waste
vegetable
oil
in
less
than
five
minutes,
and
for
a
little
as
45¢
per
gallon. |
With
the
average
price
of
diesel
fuel
hovering
over
$3
a
gallon,
that
can
translate
into
windfall
savings
for
owners
of
vehicles
with
diesel
engines.
What
makes
the
new
Biofuel
Basics
process
especially
appealing
is
that
it
produces
high
performance
diesel
fuel
faster,
easier
and
more
safely
than
previous
methods
--
requiring
no
heating
and
no
engine
modifications.
"This
is
a
clearly
the
breakthrough
that
consumers
have
been
waiting
for,"
said
Eugene
Kaser,
president
of
Biofuel
Basics.
"With
our
system,
there's
no
need
to
spend
thousands
of
dollars
to
convert
your
vehicle
to
accept
our
fuel.
By
adding
just
one
ounce
of
our
exclusive
formula
to
vegetable
oil,
you
can
make
six
gallons
of
Biofuel
No.
2,
the
next-generation
biodiesel
that
runs
cleanly
and
efficiently
on
any
diesel
engine."
Kaser
points
out
that
one
18-oz.
bottle
of
Biofuel
Additive
can
result
in
fuel
savings
of
$324
or
more.
Used
vegetable
oil
is
readily
available
at
no
or
low
cost
from
local
restaurants
and
other
sources
that
are
happy
to
dispose
of
it
this
environmentally
friendly
way.
Consumers
can
start
producing
their
own
biodiesel
fuel
by
purchasing
the
Biofuel
Basics
Starter
Kit
online
at
the
company's
website
at
http://www.biofuelbasics.com/
for
$39.95.
The
kit
comes
with
a
full
money-back
guarantee
and
includes
an
instruction
manual
and
a
bottle
of
additive,
enough
to
make
108
gallons
of
high
quality
biodiesel
fuel.
Unlike
other
methods,
no
heating
or
thinning
of
the
vegetable
oil
is
necessary.
Biofuel
Basics,
a
leader
in
the
race
to
produce
a
low-cost,
clean-burning
alternative
diesel
fuel,
believes
it
has
at
last
developed
a
practical
method
that
can
help
accelerate
the
adoption
and
use
of
biodiesel
fuel
around
the
world,
greatly
reducing
the
cost
of
energy
and
helping
to
preserve
our
environment
and
natural
resources.

I went down to the grocery store could not buy 55 to 80 gallons of vegetabe oil for my motorhome, just won't work for me
jerry
:
I would start by using this in a salamander heater first. Since you can burn diesel in these. A lot less money if this blows up than your engine
G-Man
:
Is there any class A motor homes currently running on this additive?
THE
:
First let us look at the cost of running an RV on Diesel via Gas.
Most gas RVs get about 7 miles per gallon which cost $3.05 here. Deisel engins get about 9 miles per gallon, which cost about $3.39 here.
$3.05 divided by 7 = $.43 per mile.
$3.39 divided by 9 = $.37 per mile.
Showing that with this milage gas will cost about $.06 per mile more.
While more per gallon, the diesel will cost $6.00 per tank of 100 gallons than gas.
Not all RVs and their drivers get the same milage ... use your own numbers and see which cost more in the long run.
Kenny J
:
I think this could be a good money saver.
John A
:
Sounds good to me. I wonder if anyone using it would need to check with the RV manufacturer or with the engine maker.
