Perfect Biodiesel - Every Time
Simple Setup - Fully Assembled, Detailed Guide, Tech Support.
Safe Operation - Safety Features, Fused & Tested, Safety Guide.
Quick - 4 hours = 40 gallons, requiring only 30 minutes of work.
Solid State Control Panel
Approved by the National Electrical Manufacturer Association for lasting biodiesel application.
Automatic Water Wash Lid
Connect to a hose and walk away while the biodiesel is cleaned. Auto shutoff avoids overflows.
Direct Catalyst Injection Lid
Ensures all lye is sufficiently and rapidly dissolved in the oil stream at an optimal ratio.
Quick Disconnect Fittings
Makes it easy to expand the system to produce more fuel.
Protect Environment.
Emissions reduced 40-50%, which slows global warming. 0% Sulphur Particles (poisonous bits in regular diesel.)
When plants grow they absorb carbon from the air, so burning veg oil does not introduce new amounts of CO2 into the biosphere. Petroleum-based diesel fuel however is spraying carbon from under the earth into the “living layer.”
Substantial reduction of unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter
Domestic - Support your farmers and local economy. Renewable. Reduce the need for imported petroleum!
Save Money.
Using waste cooking oil as a base can be free. Many restaurant owners are happy to give it away if you ask.
Grow your own oil - from sunflowers, soy, canola, jatropha, nuts, or even algae! Press it with this machine.
Sources of fIltered oil are emerging in locations worldwide. Usually priced between $1-$3 per gallon.
Some state incentives available including tax credits, rebates, and grants. Check your state here.
Simple Choice.
User-Friendly: Built for the beginner, with advanced features to make perfect biodiesel each time.
Easy to Assemble: Tower is ready in just a few minutes. All electronics and plumbing is pre-assembled.
Smoother Running Engine: Biodiesel has a much higher lubricating quality than diesel fuel. It also has a higher cetane rating. This means cleaner fuel injection and a longer engine life with less unburned carbon deposits in your engine.

What is Biodiesel?
Vegetable or other natural oils are thicker than diesel fuel, so must be thinned in order to properly combust. Biodiesel is the result of oil that has been chemically treated through a process called transesterification to remove the glycerin and thereby thin the oil. This process uses an industrial alcohol such as methanol and a catalyst substance such as lye to convert the oil into a fatty acid methyl ester fuel. The fuel is registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as legal for use in any concentration with petroleum-based diesel fuel, for the operation of both highway and non-road diesel vehicles. It may be helpful to compare this method of using vegetable oil as fuel to SVO (Straight Vegetable Oil) operation which heats the oil on board the vehicle to thin it. Find SVO Kits in our ebay store.
Will it work with my Vehicle?
Biodiesel is a fuel for any diesel engine. Biodiesel performs similarly to regular diesel fuel and can be used with no modifications to the diesel engine or the vehicle. One consideration is the solvent properties of Biodiesel can result in a slow degradation of rubber fuel lines over an extended course of time, so it is beneficial to use Synthetic Polymer Fuel Lines. Almost every vehicle after the mid eighties already has this type of fuel line. It is a simple procedure to update your fuel lines if necessary. Biodiesel is more affected by extreme cold so an electric heater or liquid heat exchanger should be added to the vehicle for maximum assurance of effectiveness in cold operating environments. Find these in our ebay store.
What do I need to make biodiesel?
This system comes with everything you need to get started except oil, methanol, and lye. To find and gather a waste oil source, refer to the GreaseBeast Guide. Because you'll be using chemicals to refine your oil, you should always be sure you're wearing protective safety gear before starting the process, such as goggles, gloves, protective apron and boots.
If you will be transferring biodiesel, consider the fuel transfer pumps above, as they are designed specifically for the thickness and chemical makeup of the fuel. Because initial use of Biodiesel can release deposits previously accumulated on tank walls and pipes, it's recommended that the fuel filter be changed after the first tank of Biodiesel.
How do I store biodiesel?
It can be stored in your processing unit or pumped into barrels or drums. If your biodiesel will be stored for some time consider adding biocides, which are additives designed to stop the growth of microorganisms. Remember also the tendency for biodiesel to over time cause slow degredation to rubber parts, so choose containers that are free of rubber or are have sythetic rubber.
