Is there a way to make alternative diesel from waste vegetable oil? (See details below)?
I was curious on if I could make alternative Diesel from filtered & de-watered used cooking oil if I mixed in these products (Listed Below) in to it.
I have 1985 Ford F250 Diesel. I'm also thinking about installing an HHO generator on my truck while I run the alternative diesel to make up for any lost horsepower.

The easiest way to make your truck run on veggie oil is to heat the veggie oil. I don't think any of those chemical additives are going to help. The main thing is that veggie oil is thicker than diesel. By heating it you get thinner fuel.
The other way is to process the oil to remove the glycerin. But in doing so you add methanol, or ethanol, which are corrosive to gaskets and seals. So you'd have to replace all those. And even then you'd have problems in the winter with it gelling up.
PS. The HHO generator isn't going to add any power or help very much. You'd be better off with a CNG fogging system that adds a very small amount of natural gas. Propane can work to IF you use it in very small amounts.
There are PAGES of information on processing used vegetable oil to use in diesel engines - Google it - not rocket surgery…
There are probably DOZENS of videos on YouTube about making diesel fuel from used cooking oil. Maybe you should watch a few.
You tube it. It is there. There's a big filtration process as the water has to come out of the cooking oil. You know the water that comes from getting raw meat or potatoes or onion rings when they get tossed in there to cook. Water leaves and is in the oil. Cooking oil, take a bottle and stick in the fridge and leave it for a couple of days in the clear bottle. It turns white (AS IT SOLIDIFIES) (Then take out of the fridge and put on counter at room temperature and it become a liquid again as it warms up)Diesel also does that when the temperature is -20F so solid fuel does not flow from the gas tank to the engine.
. So they use KEROSENE in places where it is normally expected to get that cold every winter… Otherwise cars no run. The sign still says Diesel, but KEROSENE is the winter diesel. This is done automatically on the next shipment of fuel as Kero and Diesel mix together no problem. Rather than change the sign they leave it as Diesel so there's less confusion. After all they do not tell you that there's such a thing a summer gas and winter gas. You know it exists because every spring there's a temporary drop in gas prices as they try to get rid of the winter gas quickly.
The jets that fly overhead burn Aviation fuel(Kerosene) because it is always cold when the jets are flying so high. Definitely do not want the fuel to solidify in the tanks.
. Kerosene has slightly less "umph" than diesel but not enough for you to notice the difference.
As you know water does not burn and that diesel engine use huge amounts of air (so HHO is H2O or water when ignited… Something you are trying to avoid, so that is a none starter. You could put gasoline in with your diesel right in the tank but like 5% of the total volume. If your tank holds 100 gallons then put in 95 gallons diesel and 5 gallons gasoline.(that is approximately close enough). Avoid 50%, as that destroys a diesel engine. This is for really cold weather conditions. Me, I just plug my diesel in for a couple of hours and it starts right away. Or at last coffee break I go out and plug it in at work. Most of the time it has still enough residual heat from driving TO work that it starts up without the need for a block heater plug in.
. The other stuff you got on the list is unnecessary junk.Diesels don't need any different than what comes out of the bowser.
As for the hassle to make fuel from used vegetable oil… It is not worth the effort. IMO
Get a smaller truck or an econo car and save big on fuel use is the other way.
Biodiesel is made from waste cooking oil and other oily waste. HHO take more energy to make than it provides. You big ideas will soon have you taking the bus.
- Heater isn't hot enough in my car, is there a way to make the heater better? I drive a 1998 Ford Taurus Wagon, the heater on it is alright but when it's 10 degrees outside it kinda sucks. Is there an actual way to make your heater hotter?
- Media and the left are bent on believing Ford no matter what. Will she make up details to make sure her story is believable? So far her only witness has denied being there. Her details are so sketchy they are not really believable. But, Kavanaugh is being roasted anyway. This is just terrible. The point being, she could say ANYTHING at this point and the left would believe it. She can contradict herself (the number of people in the room) or she can flat out lie because we're not demanding any proof. It is really terrible what they are doing to Kavanaugh.
- Is this a reasonable way to look at the Ford- Kavanaugh controversy (see details)? Just forget about it at this point. Que Sera Sera. Right or wrong, it's out of our hands. If Kavanaugh is confirmed, fine. If not, fine. There's no way we're ever really going to know for sure, or even halfway for sure. The FBI investigation was just too short. Currently, it's still a case of "he said, she said." The bottom line is that there's nothing we can do about it., whether we want Kavanaugh to be confirmed or not.
- I simply can't see these political posers - Blasey-Ford and now Ramirez - as assault victims the way I do actual assault victims. How? Can anyone not see this for what it is? A desperate political party with no scruples staging an all-out, childish smear campaign. The impact of crying wolf will backfire on them this Friday and in November. But FAR WORSE is the impact it will have on the actual victims of sexual assault. Are they happy?
