Biodiesel is simply put, a chemical transformation of vegetable and animal fats-oils into a methyl
or ethyl ester fuel for consumption in diesel engines. The advantages of this fuel are numerous and there are numerous resources
and enthusiasts on the subject.
Biodiesel, while becoming more visible in the mainstream media, is beset by many
false claims, information and heresay. The extensive library on biodiesel at my disposal is here to help you, the customer,
to find out the facts to make their own decision on biodiesel for their vehicles and equipment.
My consulting firm,
Heliodiesel Biofuel Consulting, provides direct instruction and help in constructing small scale biodiesel reactors for home
brewers and companies that are interested in reducing their ecological footprint as well as seeing a reduction in their operating
costs.
While there are multiple websites that give detailed instructions for those who are interested to make their
own fuel, often a hands-on approach is necessary by a qualified and experienced instructor to ease the learning curve for
the beginner. My services are availiable for just such instruction.
Below are examples of properly and improperly
reacted biodiesel.
