- Do not attempt this. If you do try to recreate this,you do so at your own risk.This is not a how-to video,this is how I make my own diesel. Making diesel from waste motor oil, using waste oil burner,and filtering through my modified centrifuge/juicer.
Your setup is really amazing. The most simple and effective I found on internet. I will try to do same as you. I hope next time I write here is for telling you I had success :) Thank you very much for the videos!!! Greetings from Spain
Dude, this is amazing. Not only awesome, but it would not be Karl if you weren’t in flip flops with a cigarette. Total rock n roll my man🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
😆 right
Karl I will definitely be following this diesel project. I have seen another process like you are doing but with plastic. You heat the plastic and distill the vapors into diesel fuel.
Yes, we are interested in how your burner is made, though it looks like our home oil burner that we purchased many many years ago for lots of money !
Yes it would drip out and not run out. - - - A drip valve like from the hospital for saline drip...
Could you use coffee filters to get a clearer result?
Does it really matter for the big boss heater you got outside?
Wow - I'm pleased you are safe and well, that you are brave enough to even try this (because let's face it, these times are 'trying' (us!)lol) and stay safe!
I will do a build video on the burner only. I will start working on the video very soon. It should be up before Thanksgiving.
@@karlsoffroad8609 I look forward to it - You are very generous with your time for helping us all. Seeing how to videos like yours gives us reserved people more confidence to try it - we thank you Karl !
@Stephen_Strange , they're more, how I do it, but they should get you going in the right direction. I appreciate everyone watching and commenting. I wasn't sure if people would be as interested as I am in alternative fuel sources. I will get the burner building underway.
Mad man ,
Video on a how to video for the burner would be great, I like the simple set up too
good stuff Karl
You have to have a sludge drain or coking become a problem within the reactor there will also be off gassing is dangerous and the gases are flammable also needs to be temperature controlled if you run too hot it will be pyrolysis oil it will be out of the temperature range an oil will be very difficult to work with
You can use 15 gallon drum as a distiller retort or stainless wine barrel
Love it, warts n all set up
Super cool stuff
I’ve just built my second diesel machine, and just so you know I run my mrs car on it (common rail injection) and it runs fine on it.
I use sodium hydroxide and ethanol mix to clean mine works well
That’s nice. I’m a novice and don’t know much about common rail injection, do you mind giving me a typical example of a common rail injection car? Eg from the year 1990-2000 diesel cars are all made of common rail injection. I hope you understand me, and please how do you use the sodium hydroxide and ethanol mix to clean the diesel fraction and what process do you use. I would be glad if you could educate me on this.
That is AMAZING!!!! I knew oil has all the fuels, gasoline, diesel etc but always assumed you need a really special technical setup with precise temperature control, prolly do to get the super clean stuff you get at the pump but you have demonstrated how much we could get from the raw basics. So quickly too and not much condensation pipe either.! I am going to try this myself just to impress my mates lol, not worth it for me otherwise, I just burn the dirty stuff it does me fine. Fantastic video.
I appreciate the kind words! I keep it as simple as possible. I'm going to buy a small diesel engine and test it just how it came out of my centrifuge. I want to avoid chemical treatment if I can.
I wouldn't have thought you would need to treat it, but maybe a wider condense pipe 1/2" maybe and a U bend or something you could remove to collect the debris before it goes into the container. I don't like the idea of using chemicals that pretty much all the free diesel channels tell you to, there's a chance you could ruin the engine if acids or strong alkalines are in the mix. If it burns clean who cares!@@karlsoffroad8609
can you mix mix with 10% gasoline and use it or mix it with 50 % standard diesel
I think it would work as is,bo mixing required. I'll be testing it in a small diesel engine soon.
@@karlsoffroad8609 can it work without chemical treatment just plain filtering
@@thabangtimothy7262 ,I think it will be fine.
Mad man keep them coming and we won't tell your kids about the card 😅
I personally prefer electrically heated had multiple units 1,300 W 1,600 Watts and I got a big 6000 W unit electrical is the best way 6 gallons per hour:-) the fuel will have to be treated there is no way around it
I will treat the fuel with sulphuric acid and baking soda. I have never done the treatment, but that's why I'm experimenting. Learning as I go on the diy diesel.
@@karlsoffroad8609how do you treat it with sulfuric acid and baking soda. I’m very much interested in learning how to treat it that way
@danielmanchi9084 ,I didn't treat it before I ran it in my small diesel engine. I am going to try and treat a batch to see the difference. It ran just fine as is.
@@karlsoffroad8609 I have been doing this for well over a decade once again it has suspended solids and solids that will also fall out both of those will clog tanks fuel lines filters pumps and injectors eventually there is no option to not treat it you can run it through a centrifuge must be treated if this was a passenger vehicle you will be on the side of the road in no time
@@karlsoffroad8609 okay thanks for the reply. looking forward to that video
Doin this for 10 years
Require ur help mate
@@ZarawarKhan-gs8hr 4 ?
Can you help me build and set up one for myself please?
You have to use sulfuric acid with silica gel for treatment
What does the treatment do?
@@kevinroberts175 removes polymers and tar
@@kevinroberts175 Removes the stinky odor and makes the color more lighter
@@antoniosestar3671do you mind throwing more light on how to use sulfuric acid and silica gel to treat it ?
@@danielmanchi9084 just use sodium hydroxide and water, its sufficient as a treatment... silica gel is just for decoloring if you want to sell it
Well I see 30 gallons is going to take you some time.
Definitely will with this setup. This was a proof of concept test. I will build a bigger one soon. I only plan to use the diesel for a small generator to keep my batteries topped off during cloudy weather. Thanks for commenting and checking out my channel, I'll be doing more self-reliant projects, so if there's anything specific you are interested in seeing, drop a suggestion, and I'll see if I can make it happen! Have a happy Thanksgiving!
@@karlsoffroad8609 Would be cool to fill up your truck as well. Be safe. as you did mention having an explosion already. Cheers
Wish I could have caught it on camera! Lol, it was a good one. I just finished cleaning up the aftermath. I still have oil dripping from the hinges of my garage door. I learned what not to do,that's for sure.
Is thos dude just impervious to CO2 poisoning?
Probably, I've been doing exhaust for 25+ years! Lol
And please don't do that inside
I have a 4 foot exhaust fan that keeps it ventilated nicely when needed. I just don't take any naps for a while! Lol
