Make your own Diesel .46 Cents

[Mundgyver]

A friend of mine just showed me this web site http://www.dieselsecret.com/ and thought I might be interested. Is there anybody on the forum that know about this or using this



Curious minds are wondering

40 bucks for the manual and bottle. Not to much of a risk. Only thing that bothers me is that I live in a place that can hit -50 easily for days on end. I can't have gelled fuel.

This is the third TDR thread today on diesel secret. Wonder if it just popped up and is legit?



Sounds almost too good to be true - WVO, a filter, and their magic sauce that does in 5 minutes what lye and methanol do overnight in a bio still?



Unfortunately in Las Vegas I can't give it a shot to find out - the county has all the WVO sources locked up for school buses.

Okay, lets do some elementary math. Let's say a town has 100,000 people that own a car/truck. Then let's say that only 5% of that population drives a diesel powered vehicle. That's 5000 vehicles. Now let's say that 5% of those people run their vehicles on any form of WVO. That would be 250 people per town. I don't know about your town, but my town doesn't have 500 - 750 restaurants in it!

I think instead of expecting to run 100% of the time on alternate fuel, run a percentage as a way to save on your regular fillups. Something 5-10 gallons at a time. But yes the most challenging part of this is getting a source. I called around to 4-5 restaurants and they didn't seem that enthused about the idea. We have a small cafeteria here at the hospital I work at and figured they wouldn't generate that much WVO, but what the heck I asked for the oil anyway. Amazingly they crank out 5-8 gallons a week which I have been collecting for awhile. They were throwing it in a dumpster!

A Google search comes up with many identical press releases. The Alexa data for this web site shows no address and no persons name. A look at their web site shows no contact data with a physical address or anyones name. A reverse lookup on their phone number (337) 289-0248 shows a Lafayette, LA number, with no name or address which is likely a cell phone.

Bottom line - look like a scam to you too?



Probably the same people offering the fuel purchase rebate club - join our club, save your fuel receipts and we will send you a check every month

I say scam

 

[Vaughn MacKenzie]

Sounds fishy to me too. I'm no chemist or tribologist but if you change the viscosity of a fluid it has to go through a process that changes its chemical properties. When that occurs it usually creates a byproduct. Just don't see how it can be done throwing in some inert chemical and wallah! bioalternative diesel



The other method of reducing viscosity is thinning it down. . . that means gasoline, alcohol, etc. . . items not good for your pump, engine, or wallet!

On one of the other forums, there was a guy who bought the book. He said that you have to cut the wvo with kerosine and gasoline then add their "special additive". The book told you to buy a large plasic trash can and home type water filters from a hardware store. The "fuel" came out with a pink color. He says some chemist friend of his will test the fuel. It would be great if you could run on $. 46/gal fuel, I am too skeptical at this point.

 

[Mundgyver]

Hmmmmmmmm Sooooooo, if the WVO has to be cut with kerosene and gas, how do we get to 46 cents a gallon The math does not add up

Today 8-27 they had something you could buy to make your owm bio-diesel on trucks on spike tv,but just as they started talking about it we had company @ the door & I couldn't watch it. So tomorrow is another day. I'm going to tape it too.

I did the FAQ on this on their site



http://www.dieselsecret.com/faq.htm#q10



It says you have to make a system from readily available parts from home depot and such at about $120... . gues it consits of container and filters an such... .



I ordered it and I am going to use it exclusivley in the summer and blend it like 20-50% for winter. I also have an anti-gel edditive I bought before from filtakleen so in summer the cost will be . 45. . and winter maybe $1. 00-1. 20 (dep. on current price. )

Eric



do you plan on doing any mods to your truck before you start using it?



I am also going to give it a try, but i am installing a fleetguard coolant heated filter before i start.

 

[Mundgyver]

"fleetguard coolant heated filter"



What would this be for, just out of curiosity??? I am still debating about this vegi oil stuff and look forward to some input from someone that is already doing this.



My hesitation is that I am not to keen on trying out something that I have no experience with, and in particular with my daily driver and a $13,000 engine that is in perfect condition.



I am looking around for an old VW Golf Diesel like I use to have or maybe a Jetta.

diesel fuel is happy with 80 to 120f temp. waste oil is not happy unless temp is 160f +

 

[CMaxfield]

i watched trucks on spike tv and they got a complete mixing system from freedomfuelamerica.com and they never said how much it costed but it had a filteration system and a complete mesuring system with it. i tought it looked good. but who knows.

 

[Mundgyver]

"diesel fuel is happy with 80 to 120f temp. waste oil is not happy unless temp is 160f +"



So this sounds as if you will be using waste oil if I understand correctly. Are you going to blend this with your fuel and if it has to be 160*+ are you worried about your VP operational temp

 

[DHayden]

The setup on trucks you blend with a specific portion of lye and methanol. The bi product is glycerene which sinks to the bottom and is drained away. Supposed to cost about 76 cents a gallon.
