How does a Vegetable Oil Generator work?

Vegetable Oil is thicker than diesel fuel, so must be thinned to power a diesel engine. A SVO Conversion works by transferring heat to the vegetable oil to thin it properly. When the oil reaches an appropriate temperature then a fuel valve is activated to automatically switch fuels. A properly heated system such as this will not create clogged injectors, loss of power, or other issues. It will sound smooth driving, probably even more than usual because the engine is better lubricated. The engine creates electrical power that you can plug into or harness with batteries.

How much fuel is used to create the electricity?

The amount of fuel used depends on the size of generator and how much of a load is being used. If you are grid connected through net metering, the entire load is used to put electricity into the grid.


Gallons of Vegetable Oil Used

For 12,000 Watts (12 KW) of usable electricity it requires a little over 1 Gallon of Vegetable Oil per hour.

If only half of that - 6,000 Watts - is being used then only half a gallon is used.

Will this work in my country?


The 60 Hz model is for United States applications. Any model can be built to 50 Hz for international applications for free by request. Check out the specs section for other power options and contact us for more information.

Is this Biodiesel?

Not quite. SVO is Straight Vegetable Oil, without modification. Biodiesel is made by chemically treating straight vegetable oil. The difference in terms of operation: SVO requires a conversion to the vehicle, a secondary fuel system that prepares the oil by warming it. Biodiesel on the other hand can go directly into the main tank for most diesels. It costs about .75 per gallon to make (from used oil) and requires some comfort and care to mix chemicals. Find biodiesel supplies on our ebay store.

Where do I find the vegetable oil?


Vegetable Oil comes from a variety of sources such as seeds, flowers, olives, coconuts and algae. Many people gather free waste cooking oil from restaurants to use as fuel. It is thicker than diesel fuel so must be thinned in order to run perfectly well in a diesel engine. This is the purpose of the SVO Conversion on the engine, to heat the oil and switch between regular diesel fuel and vegetable oil at the right time.

Most customers choose to collect the used cooking oil from local restaurants. Ask first - the owners are usually more than happy to give it to you for free, as they typically have to pay to have it removed. Read the GreaseBeast Guide to understand how to find and collect good oil and find all the filtration gear in our ebay store. Sometimes vegetable oil can be purchased economically from farmers, in bulk, or even at the pump in some areas. One can also choose to grow their own fuel - there are a variety of crops that will do the job. Use an oil press from our ebay store to do the job.

Origin?

The Diesel engine was originally engineered to be fueled with vegetable oil. It was actually debuted to run on peanut oil at a world fair over 100 years ago. Listen to the inventor: "the Diesel engine can be fed vegetable oils" which "may become in the course of time as important as petroleum." — Dr. Rudolf Diesel, 1912

Is it Safe?

Vegetable Oil is actually a much safer fuel than both gasoline and diesel. When looking at the flash point -the temperature at which the liquid will ignite - diesel fuel is 143* F (62* C) and vegetable oil is 620* F (327* C). Not only is it less dangerous because it will not ignite easily, if vegetable oil is spilled on the ground, it is not poisonous to people, animals, or the environment. The Veg Generator is engineered with high grade automotive parts, and has been thoroughly inspected and approved by TUV - the strict German standard for safe automotive application.

Filtration Cost?

If you are gathering cooking oil you will need to use a filtration method for your oil. Finding good oil and using the GreaseBeast Filtration equipment will keep your costs to pocket change, 6 to 30 cents per gallon.

Who manufactures this, and what is their conversion record?


This is built from a Deutz Diesel engine, produced by Readysource who has installed generators all around the world.

Can I convert my vehicle to run this way?

Yes, most diesels can run on vegetable oil using SVO Conversion Kits, found in our ebay store. There are a few choices, depending on what size of vehicle you have and how much fuel you would like to be able to carry at one time.

Can it still run on diesel?

Yes! Since this is a dual tank system the original diesel fuel system is left fully intact. You are always free to run on diesel with a simple flip of a switch on the SVO Controller.

Can I operate the Veg Generator on during the winter?

Straight vegetable oil becomes more viscous (thicker) at cooler temperatures. The heating devices in the system thin the oil and the vehicle will only switch over to vegetable oil operation when the correct temperature has been reached. So in colder environments this usually means a bit more warmup time before vegetable oil operation will occur.
If you want to be extra certain of a quick startup on diesel in extreme cold, ask us about a full winterization option.
