I am a bit confussed, and maybe those of you who know a thing or two about this subject can clairafy this issue.
I have been on this cite for a couple of weeks now discussing used motor oil, and used veggie oil. I was under the impression that, all was need to burn this stuff in my IDI motor, was to filter it (and I am still not sure how much filtering is actually needed), and then put it in the tank and go. Now, I just got off of a few web cites concerning making bio-diesel. But, they take the same veggie oil, whether new or used, and they go through this compecated chemical process using lye and methenol, heating, seperating, washing, drying, etc. What the heck!!! Why is it that I read and hear that I can just filter oil (and in some cases I hear motor oil, tranny fluid, synthetics, and what ever, regardless of the ratio of mix that may or may not be made with regular diesel), put it in my tank, and/or mix it, etc., and than I read on these official cites that I got to have a chemistry set, harmful chemicals, a freakin' lab, and in some cases a license to use this veggie oil in my truck.
Now, will some body please (and please be somebody who actually knows what they are talking about, and not; "I heard" or "I was told". No offense please, I just want to know the truth before I start spending money, and buying stuff to burn alternative fuels in my truck.
