My man is doing 1800-1900 style chemistry lol! Measuring dry solids by volume, stirring with a stick so the lye solution turns yellow, and eyeballing everything 😂😂 I love it this is how chemistry started
very good recipe to make biodiesel. I'll dare suggest you can add to process - using quicklime instead silica gel to dehydrate final stage. In Brazil - before our national alcohol project (for fuel) when high technology were developed, the production of dehydrate Ethylic alcohol was done by quicklime. I believe 100 or 150 g of lime might be enough - try it. Congrats to you
@@daneitor97 Look - I'm not specialist in distillation of alcohol, despite some experience in it. All processes involving dehydration of alcohol are not simple and cheap, mainly for small volumes. I suggest you might try using quicklime - it might absorb rest of hidration of alcohol - totally or partially... you must try to confirm
Hi there :) 1. I hope the tank and pipes you are using are not made of aluminum but stainless steel, because aluminum and its alloys will corrode in contact with NaOH. 2) NaOH is a strong base, "rinse" the oil with one liter of water will not remove it, it should be neutralized with some acid imho. 3) I think silica gel absorb water, but with NaOH, so it should not be dried and reused. 4) Dissolving NaOH releases a lot of heat, which may cause the solution to boil and splashing it around. In general that is interesting video. 👍🏻
The tank is stainless steel, the NaOH is in miniscular amount reacted with alcohol releasing the heat, so added to the fuel cold with no exothermic reaction, then it reacts with tar, settles and drained, washed and drained again, copper stripe test or water extract test is done upon the use, the used silica is mixed with NaOH again and boiled with a bit of water that turns it to sodium silicate, then dirt collected from the top of solution, later sodium silicate is converted to silica gel again. Also note that if any NaOH would be in the treated fuel, then silica gel will react with it and become neutral sodium silicate, so there is no alkali in the fuel.
You should be able to improve your drying result, if you neutralize the remaining NaOH (for example with some muriatic acid) in your solution before adding the silica, as silica does not work well in basic environments.
Oxygen can not be used while stirring. It is a strong oxidizing agent that significantly affects the process itself and its result. For chemical mixing, it is necessary to use a rotary mechanism with a frequency converter...
Do you mean that the material should be thrown. and stirring. And this must be isolated from the air. Or the barrel is closed and suspended from the top by a motor with an internal stirrer
This whole process seems similar to how biodiese is made from waste cookin oil except normally methanol is used instead of ethanol, and it’s heated before being added to the waste oil
This is great, just discovered your channel. I run only diesel vehicles and collect enough waste oil to power my vehicles even with an 80% recovery rate through distillation. I've been wanting to have a go at cracking it for the longest time. It seems like the addition of a centrifuge could be quite useful at a variety of stages in the cracking and refining processes?
@@santeryi9 have you considered using waste gas or light fractions as the heat source for the still? I imagine that would come with risks, but the reduction of electricity demand seems possibly worthwhile?
@@FirstLast-tx3yj I personally have no use for petrol/gasoline, so that wouldn't rank highly in my priorities. I use a bit of diesel though. I'm yet to attempt any of this. One of these days ill get there.
You probably is getting something other than ethoxide: CH3CH2- as sodium hydroxide in spite of being a strong base is not strong enough to generate ethoxide the reason being that the ethanol is a extremely weak acid, and in order for it to react like one you need brutal bases: metallic sodium (particularly in aprotic solvents like THF) is a good one, I guess you could use Lithium from batteries too. diluted acidic potassium permanganate (say in diluted sulfuric acid) can be also used to oxidize some impurities and you can clarify the colloidal suspension of MnO2 with sodium sulfite afterwards..
I tried, Polyether Amines TEPA, and it also cleans the fuel. It sequesters the dirt. Getting a thick black goo to the bottom of the container. But it take 2 weeks to do it.
Sodium ethoxide can be prepared in two ways. By reaction of sodium metal in ethanol, or by electrolysis of an anhydrous solution of NaOH in ethanol at high current.
Hi, I would like to tell you what I do when drying biodiesel. After raising the temperature, I turn on the air for 15 minutes and all the moisture will evaporate quickly.
Expensive, 4-5 days, need a container big enough & stirring device. The outlay for those is high enough but in Europe those chemicals have to be bought in large enough quantities to make it cheap (1Kg NaOH == £4, Alcohol 1L £5). My time alone would make it cheaper to fill up at a gas station. And you still have to dispose of the waste materials which you need to drive to the disposal site in a vehicle. So if you do happen to have the gear lying around and you don't have anything better to do with your time then you get what? 3-4 gallons from 5 gallons of oil. That would take me a few years to get from oil changes anyway.
@@juncusbufonius recovery rate is probably ninety-plus percent fuel here is 490 a gallon so I can make 100 gallons at $0.20 a gallon you do the math machine can run at the house when I'm off of work or on days off or through the night every night of the week and maybe produced 15 gallons per run or 20 over time you will save a fortune
Dissolving NaOH in EtOH does not make ethoxide. You have merely created a solution of NaOH in alcohol. Ethoxide is a much stronger base than hydroxide.
In my case I use it as fuel, so no real need to make it bright yellow, bur I would recomment to store it with silica for longer period of time and it will become bright yellow in week time, so some absorbent will do the trick.
You got yourself a sub, i gotta try this. Been collecting wmo but to use in a conara im going to modify but if i can put it in my landcruiser that'd be great.
may I know what results you should get with the hydrometer? Is it required?And also do you know any alternative heating equipment aside from cartridge heater. Is it possible to use stove to hear it?. You are very skilled!👍🏻👍🏻
Hi the hydrometer should show 830 to 845kg per cubic meter, it is a standard requirements, so all the passages and filters are able to establish a proper fuel flow to injectors, the heating can be done with a heated water jacket made around the cylindr, then you can use aa simple water heating element, though make sure that the system is opened to atmosphere, to avoid any steam overpressure.
Diesel is good if you need over 300hp, but anything less I think gas is superior. Eagerly awaiting followup video of you cracking the diesel into gasoline.
Totally agree,though I prefer either 1000hp locomotive diesels, or simple underpowered 80hp single bum movers, so any diesel is good, specially in off road conditions.

If resulting fuel is treated properly it can be used in any diesel vehicle, one of my cars is driven predominantly with this type of fuel for the last 11 years and it has 440000km still going strong, here is another way of fuel treatment: the first step: ua-cam.com/video/pCQB7Bu4lrY/v-deo.htmlsi=xpZVUTH9SPC-0U_G The second step: ua-cam.com/video/m3WYqCCQZ7E/v-deo.html
Yes it is a long process, take into account that I show how to do it in a bigger volume not in a lab glass. the process can be replicated with a much bigger quantity and it will justify time spent.
I would be brutally honest, when i did this i bought 2 chepest diesel fuel filters for golf 2, 2 plastic barrels and one pump. then added diesel for it to be 50/50 .I cycled 2 times the used oil thru the filters. The OM611 2.2L Mercedes engine run on it just fine without any issue. I drove at least 40 000km on that sort of fuel. I drove always long distances. The W210 rusted to the point where i cant pass inspection so i just bought a cheap w203 1.8 gasoline with lpg and forgot about the used oil thing. LPG makes me feel i am contirbuting to the cleaner air.
Ei Alek que sensacional seu trabalho tive esses problemas com o combustível lá na África do Sul quando produzi combustível com pneus, plástico, grama já a gasolina de CO2 já saí limpa .
Many thanks for sharing this tehnic with people... I m hapy to find your video! ✌️My ask is: how old car I must have to runing on this fuel!??? Many greetings ✌️
I cut off second added water..i collect waste oil , blend in 15 rud and mix with paddles till blended.Then i run two 454hvoil pumps wide open for few hours off batteries and solar panels. Then i let it sit for day to fee depending on how i feel.i then pump off the top cleaned blend an let solids for burning.i pump up into loft an the gravity feed into a centrifuge at about 3-5gal how. Then into tank for inspection.then either pump into use tank of back up for another pass.300k in 8.3 dp so far but i do service every 10k period all filters if they need it or not.Figure i saved on fuel i to get filters, inframe kit 6 new injectors and a head incase problems. No i do not heat mine but i only mix and clean durning summer too.End up with plenty left over so i only pickup bulk in winter if its over 150gal.I use vacuum system for pickup, so much easier , faster and less mess and headaches.
Thanks a great video, which not only save money, but soil pollution by WMO. I have a question. Waste oil may be containing a part of synthetic and semi synthetic oil also in it, say 30%. Would this method still valid and give a good fuel or do we need to alter the volume of silica gel/ethoxide to remove impurities?
Concerning of waste product’n that significant, Urban Mining (for Oil, Pulp, Aluminum, Plastic even Gold) must encourage to prevent Enfironment Damage.
Hi thank you so much for doing this amazing video. Good job, but can i use methanol instead of ethyl alcohol and what is the purpose of adding silica gel?
Hi, I think you can use methanol, in my case I am trying to avoid toxic reagents, the silica is absorbs water, tar and polymers, greatly improving the final result.
would it be beneficial to do this with raw wmo to get as much yucks out of it (aka..... less to filter/centrifuge cause it fell out via this process) prior to distilling to a diesel fraction?
@@johndowe7003 that is my point.... only centrifuge what is above the settlement. will then take less centrifuge passes to get an oil that is more uniform... thus will crack easier and cleaner as you distill it.
First of all make sure that your engine oil is not multigrade or mixed with another oils, then you can use some sort of coagulant, let say sodium silicate, mix, let settle, wash, dry, filter or better centrifuge. But from my experience in modern days the only classic cars intended zinc rich motor oil is easy to recover, the other oil, especially diesel one literally impossible, they designed to keep all the dirt suspended to prevent deposits within engine.
Nice job Alek! I have your plans for a WMO distillation set up. Diesel obviously has a particular odor to it when burnt. WMO when burned, has a less tolerable smell. Does the process in this video change the odor or smell to more like traditional pump purchased Diesel?
HI THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS FANTASTIC VIDEO.I OWN A WORKSHOP SO HAVE ALOT OF OLD ENGINE OIL.I DID EVERYTHING AS YOU EXPLAINED BUT MY OIL IS STILL BLACK.CAN I INCREASE THE VOLUME OF THE CEMICALS TO SEE IF I CAN CHANGE IT TO A LIGHTER COLOUR OR WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST I DO.THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP.
Hi, please read the description - I am treating the distilled oil, not the black one from a sump. Hopefully, soon I will upload the oil cleaning method video.
During processing, if I need the fiel to be warm I use a cartrige heater incerted in a stainless tube that plugged at one end, I control the temperture by suppressing the element with a voltage regulator, thus I can keep it at any desired temperature, and yes I make my own diesel fuel and use it for my diesel cars.
Sir cleaning one's engine oil with silica gel is a bit costly sir do you have any process which can renew the engine oil at low cost would be very helpful sir
It's only costly if you cannot reuse the silica after the process. I wonder if it can be cleaned after its used. Maybe a solvent wash then a drying would make it work again.
Hello. congratulations on a perfect and scientific video. Thanks. I would like to ask what materials can be used instead of ethanol? can it be replaced with gasoline? What should I do with the remaining excess solution that settles out? How can it be used in an environmentally friendly way?
@@marinvremes5702 Yes , Be carefoul. Thanks. here not cheapest the ethanol, its realy heavy to buy here.. or is double price .so... i need found a way to replace.
What exactly are you gaining from this process? I've worked with used oil/waste oil for years and all I have ever done is run it through 10-micron filters to get it clean and then blend it with ~20 to 30% E85 to get diesel engines to run normally on it.
Hi, I am thinking about making my own diesel. Could please help me with some information. Where do you get the alcohol for a decent price in new zealand? Any idea for a cheap set up to produce 30-50 liters per week with an acceptable quality? Thanks!
Hi, I am making my alcohol. Otherwise, you can use blue methylated spirits. It is ethyl alcohol (ethanol) with some die. It is usually 5 dollars per liter in any supermarket. It will be enough to treat up to 80L of fuel sodium hydroxide sold in bunnings, currently trying to complete a construction manual about a reliable system.
Diesel fan here..located Australia,access to heaps of waste oil at work (mechanic)..have nearly 1000 litres of used oil stashed away Is there any pdfs or such on how to do this?
Thank you for this video, this is a real treasure. Collecting WMO for some time, using all kinds of wmo burners but needed better and cleaner application. Also using cooking oils only filtered and 50% diesel mix directly in a car. No problem at all. One question, the black waste product, tar-looking, can it be used on concrete and wood for hydro-isolation or maybe distilled further into a more thick mass?

Silica is for water and pigment removal, it polishes the fuel, also I am not always use silica, a heat drying and centrifuge filtration, my silica is from a supermarket - cat litter crystals.
What would this fuel be used for? Thanks, I have the opportunity to get lots of waste diesel motor oil and auto oil, and used cooking oil, can I mix them together or would they need to be processed separately? Thanks for the great video
The cooking oil should be processed separately, and the final result can be mixed. Waste motor oil should be distilled first. The fuel is for my diesel Mazda MPV 2500cc turbo diesel.
Those chemicals are just reagents to remove all the tar and polymers from the fuel, then simple water and neutral absorbent. There is no chemical by the end of the process in fuel, and everything is drained and filtered out.
Instead of using air compressor for mixing the ethoxide inside the waste motor oil, can we assemble an electric motor with a propeller shaft for mixing? 220 volt AC horsepower electric motor.
Sulfuric acid is one of the most effective means for precipitation, but there are others, I will immediately stipulate that modern complex oils are not susceptible to precipitation, they contain detergent anti-sediment additives that do not allow sediment to fall out in the crankcase, thus many oils and their mixtures (at the service station they are poured into one can) are not susceptible to such manipulations, unless all the oils are collected separately from each other and oil for old-generation gasoline cars with a high zinc content is processed, then it can be precipitated with an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate.
Bring it to red hot state with some sort of furnace, burn all the absorbed hydrocarbons out, then cool down and store in hermetic container, you may use it a couple more times. also you can dissolve it in potassium hydroxide, filter, and solidify back into the silica gel form by reacting with sulfuric acid, washing, drying and temperature activating.
Thank you so much sir. Can I ask how you blend the finished recycled engine oil to be used as fuel for plunger-type diesel engines? What kind of low hydrocarbon fuel is best to mix with the recycled engine oil? Can I blend it with gasoline? Like,20%gasoline and 80% recycled waste motor oil then check the viscosity if its like normal diesel fuel viscosity. What can you suggest? I want to use it for my Year 2000 model isuzu diesel wagon plunger tyoe injection pump and for my diesel engine farm machineries. Thank you.
It's better to have excess ethanol as it is a fuel on its own. Excess caustic soda, especially if it is unreacted, will cause saponification and create soap in your fuel.
have 440000km on the clock already, still going strong with the original engine, while in some countries the pump fuel will kill any engine before it gets to 70000km.
Now I know what and how to make this happen. Alek, you are the man for sure. Look forward to make this on my own. Any other tricks you have Sir ??? I would like to know fella for sure.
So all things considered, necessary supplies and hardware, transportation/storage of fluids, absolutely necessary clean up of contaminates, but most importantly time... it comes to what $10 maybe $15 a gallon of inferior grade fuel?
Yes, you can regenerate it by heating to red hot state burning out all the impurities, also may add some sodium hydroxide and turn it into a liquid form of sodium silicate, dilute with water, filter, boil water out add hydrochloric acid and turn it into silica gel again.
Топливо делается из масла, по сути это базовое масло ну и смазывающие своиства соответственно как у масла, еще я добавляю немного двухтактного масла.

The OM611 2.2L Mercedes engine run on it just fine without any issue. I drove at least 40 000km on that sort of fuel. I drove always long distances. The W210 rusted to the point where i cant pass inspection so i just bought a cheap w203 1.8 gasoline with lpg and forgot about the used oil thing. LPG makes me feel i am contirbuting to the cleaner air.
Mamy thanks to you for sharing your knowledge. Pls how do i recycle waste lubricants oil into useful oil.. i need your advice plss
I'll tell you

Many thanks for sharing this tehnic with people... I m hapy to find your video! ✌️My ask is: how old car I must have to runing on this fuel!??? Many greetings ✌️
Best for plunger type fuel pump equipped cars.
would it not be better just to buy red diesel if locally sourced.
I cut off second added water..i collect waste oil , blend in 15 rud and mix with paddles till blended.Then i run two 454hvoil pumps wide open for few hours off batteries and solar panels. Then i let it sit for day to fee depending on how i feel.i then pump off the top cleaned blend an let solids for burning.i pump up into loft an the gravity feed into a centrifuge at about 3-5gal how. Then into tank for inspection.then either pump into use tank of back up for another pass.300k in 8.3 dp so far but i do service every 10k period all filters if they need it or not.Figure i saved on fuel i to get filters, inframe kit 6 new injectors and a head incase problems. No i do not heat mine but i only mix and clean durning summer too.End up with plenty left over so i only pickup bulk in winter if its over 150gal.I use vacuum system for pickup, so much easier , faster and less mess and headaches.
Thanks a great video, which not only save money, but soil pollution by WMO. I have a question. Waste oil may be containing a part of synthetic and semi synthetic oil also in it, say 30%. Would this method still valid and give a good fuel or do we need to alter the volume of silica gel/ethoxide to remove impurities?
.
Concerning of waste product’n that significant, Urban Mining (for Oil, Pulp, Aluminum, Plastic even Gold) must encourage to prevent Enfironment Damage.
Is this method suitable for recycling motor oils?
no.

I need a way to recycle motor oil
Hi thank you so much for doing this amazing video. Good job, but can i use methanol instead of ethyl alcohol and what is the purpose of adding silica gel?
Hi, I think you can use methanol, in my case I am trying to avoid toxic reagents, the silica is absorbs water, tar and polymers, greatly improving the final result.
How long should i mix sodium hydroxide with methanol?
@@lakshanpasindu6000 I think you have to use potassium hydroxide with methanol
(Methoxide)
would it be beneficial to do this with raw wmo to get as much yucks out of it (aka..... less to filter/centrifuge cause it fell out via this process) prior to distilling to a diesel fraction?
You could but from what I gather is that a lot of mess forms at the bottom and lowers efficiency and makes things more dangerous
@@johndowe7003 that is my point.... only centrifuge what is above the settlement. will then take less centrifuge passes to get an oil that is more uniform... thus will crack easier and cleaner as you distill it.
I have used methanol and l y e with some success
Hi need ur help mate
Super review
how to make used engine oil clean?
First of all make sure that your engine oil is not multigrade or mixed with another oils, then you can use some sort of coagulant, let say sodium silicate, mix, let settle, wash, dry, filter or better centrifuge. But from my experience in modern days the only classic cars intended zinc rich motor oil is easy to recover, the other oil, especially diesel one literally impossible, they designed to keep all the dirt suspended to prevent deposits within engine.
Nice job Alek! I have your plans for a WMO distillation set up. Diesel obviously has a particular odor to it when burnt. WMO when burned, has a less tolerable smell. Does the process in this video change the odor or smell to more like traditional pump purchased Diesel?
Yes, removes the odor from the homemade fuel, makes it less prominent than the pump diesel, smells more like a fresh engine oil.
@@santeryi9 please I’d like to know how much it’ll cost me to make a set up which will purifier about 500-1000ltrs in a day.
Can the dirty residue be used as heat source
HI THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS FANTASTIC VIDEO.I OWN A WORKSHOP SO HAVE ALOT OF OLD ENGINE OIL.I DID EVERYTHING AS YOU EXPLAINED BUT MY OIL IS STILL BLACK.CAN I INCREASE THE VOLUME OF THE CEMICALS TO SEE IF I CAN CHANGE IT TO A LIGHTER COLOUR OR WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST I DO.THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP.
Hi, please read the description - I am treating the distilled oil, not the black one from a sump. Hopefully, soon I will upload the oil cleaning method video.

@@santeryi9 Hello Alek thank you so much for your sharing, what's the hygrometer value after 3 days?
What would be the viscosity then?
About 840 - 830kg/m3
What did you use for heating the fuel?. Did you produce Disel fuel? Can you use it on vehicles?
During processing, if I need the fiel to be warm I use a cartrige heater incerted in a stainless tube that plugged at one end, I control the temperture by suppressing the element with a voltage regulator, thus I can keep it at any desired temperature, and yes I make my own diesel fuel and use it for my diesel cars.
After all the process is that diesel suitable for use in any diesel car or truck
yes, after all the treatment it is suitable for any diesel engine.
What do you do with the waste produced?
Still collecting, planning to finish a complete waste processing still, that will reduce it down to solids.
@@santeryi9 Many thanks.
@@santeryi9 have you any solution ,whats up with waste what produced ?
Sir cleaning one's engine oil with silica gel is a bit costly sir do you have any process which can renew the engine oil at low cost would be very helpful sir
It's only costly if you cannot reuse the silica after the process. I wonder if it can be cleaned after its used. Maybe a solvent wash then a drying would make it work again.
Hello. congratulations on a perfect and scientific video. Thanks. I would like to ask what materials can be used instead of ethanol? can it be replaced with gasoline? What should I do with the remaining excess solution that settles out? How can it be used in an environmentally friendly way?
Usually people use methanol which is far cheaper.
Or kerosene, but be very careful, it's highly flammable, you don't want to harm yourself.
@@marinvremes5702 Yes , Be carefoul. Thanks. here not cheapest the ethanol, its realy heavy to buy here.. or is double price .so... i need found a way to replace.
How much did it cost you to do the whole process and versus how long will you be able to use that for whatever purpose you want to?
Yea... plus time
What exactly are you gaining from this process? I've worked with used oil/waste oil for years and all I have ever done is run it through 10-micron filters to get it clean and then blend it with ~20 to 30% E85 to get diesel engines to run normally on it.
Here I am processing pyrolysis oil, removing asphaltenes and tar that otherwise will clog the fuel system. And no need to add any petrol.
Hi, I am thinking about making my own diesel. Could please help me with some information. Where do you get the alcohol for a decent price in new zealand? Any idea for a cheap set up to produce 30-50 liters per week with an acceptable quality?
Thanks!
Hi, I am making my alcohol. Otherwise, you can use blue methylated spirits. It is ethyl alcohol (ethanol) with some die. It is usually 5 dollars per liter in any supermarket. It will be enough to treat up to 80L of fuel sodium hydroxide sold in bunnings, currently trying to complete a construction manual about a reliable system.
Methylated spirits are alcohol. Also try paint shops.
Diesel fan here..located Australia,access to heaps of waste oil at work (mechanic)..have nearly 1000 litres of used oil stashed away
Is there any pdfs or such on how to do this?
Did viscosity change? Because I don't having a black fuel
First distillation of wmo, then chemical cleaning, and yes viscosity will change.
Hi! Does it have to be distilled first by heat and cool it down before I put it on the pot so I can Achieve that color?
Yes it does! The title says "waste oil DISTILLATE."
Thank you for this video, this is a real treasure. Collecting WMO for some time, using all kinds of wmo burners but needed better and cleaner application. Also using cooking oils only filtered and 50% diesel mix directly in a car. No problem at all. One question, the black waste product, tar-looking, can it be used on concrete and wood for hydro-isolation or maybe distilled further into a more thick mass?

@@mihamakerbonjour 😍... vous rajouter du carburant (mélange essence-huile) ou de l'huile 2temps?
It looks very similar to biodiesel process
do you have to use the near 100% Ethyl, or can you use the 70ish% ethyl rubbing alcohol? Huge price difference. Ever tested it?
I use 90+ you can try 70% why not?
Sir can we remove bad smell from pyrolysis oil from same method.... please reply I'm waiting for your valuable support
Yes, this method is specifically used for the odor removal.
Alek why do you use SILICA GEL and from where did you take the silica
Silica is for water and pigment removal, it polishes the fuel, also I am not always use silica, a heat drying and centrifuge filtration, my silica is from a supermarket - cat litter crystals.
Can diesel engine run on oily hand sanitizer? Such as hands sanitizer with aloe vera oil.
No.
What would this fuel be used for? Thanks, I have the opportunity to get lots of waste diesel motor oil and auto oil, and used cooking oil, can I mix them together or would they need to be processed separately? Thanks for the great video
The cooking oil should be processed separately, and the final result can be mixed. Waste motor oil should be distilled first. The fuel is for my diesel Mazda MPV 2500cc turbo diesel.
Chinese street food
Please is it possible to make it be used as engine oil.
You need to have a special additives and formulation for your particular type of oil, then you can use it as a base oil.
@@santeryi9 can I use it for manufacturing of Lubricant grease?
@@santeryi9 so can we use the end result of that oil as a biodiesel or to run a car engine or a motorcycle?
@@mr_korwagdy1257 Hi, yes the resulting fuel can be used as diesel fuel for cars.
Great work Sir, I will try it for vegetable used oil
Use methanol instead of ethanol. Sodium methoxide is used with veg oil to make biodiesel.
With the addition of several chemicals is thevoul still usabke in the engine?
Those chemicals are just reagents to remove all the tar and polymers from the fuel, then simple water and neutral absorbent. There is no chemical by the end of the process in fuel, and everything is drained and filtered out.
I am trying hard to excel in the success of this method, because I have a lot of burnt oil
To use this method the oil must be distilled first.
Instead of using air compressor for mixing the ethoxide inside the waste motor oil, can we assemble an electric motor with a propeller shaft for mixing? 220 volt AC horsepower electric motor.
Yes, will be even better.
And sir can we use motorcycle lubricant waste oil to diesel fuel for use 4 wheeler car please reply
Hi, yes, any hydrocarbon based oil can be processed with distillation and further chemical purification into diesel fuel alternative.

How to clean used engine oil?
Sulfuric acid is one of the most effective means for precipitation, but there are others, I will immediately stipulate that modern complex oils are not susceptible to precipitation, they contain detergent anti-sediment additives that do not allow sediment to fall out in the crankcase, thus many oils and their mixtures (at the service station they are poured into one can) are not susceptible to such manipulations, unless all the oils are collected separately from each other and oil for old-generation gasoline cars with a high zinc content is processed, then it can be precipitated with an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate.

Nice information. I like your channel. I subscribe. Salam from Indonesia

Tam esho temperatura vazna, no mne vsjo bilo chisto bez silikagelja.
Thanks a lot for this video sir. What should I do to recover silica gel again after use so that I can re-use it for the next process?
Bring it to red hot state with some sort of furnace, burn all the absorbed hydrocarbons out, then cool down and store in hermetic container, you may use it a couple more times. also you can dissolve it in potassium hydroxide, filter, and solidify back into the silica gel form by reacting with sulfuric acid, washing, drying and temperature activating.
Thank you so much sir. Can I ask how you blend the finished recycled engine oil to be used as fuel for plunger-type diesel engines? What kind of low hydrocarbon fuel is best to mix with the recycled engine oil? Can I blend it with gasoline? Like,20%gasoline and 80% recycled waste motor oil then check the viscosity if its like normal diesel fuel viscosity. What can you suggest? I want to use it for my Year 2000 model isuzu diesel wagon plunger tyoe injection pump and for my diesel engine farm machineries. Thank you.
If we use more caustic soda or a little more ethanol, would it destroy the process?
It's better to have excess ethanol as it is a fuel on its own. Excess caustic soda, especially if it is unreacted, will cause saponification and create soap in your fuel.
Do have a product buying link... where can you buy that stuff
It will definitely destroyed engines 😮
have 440000km on the clock already, still going strong with the original engine, while in some countries the pump fuel will kill any engine before it gets to 70000km.
so is the WMO just filtered waste engine oil, or has it been distilled by heat?
pyary bhai yr btaa den gye ap kitny litr me kitna graam chemical dalna chahyie ..10 litr ho to
هل تستخدم معها مصدر الحرارة ؟
Do you used thermal source ?
So what is use of the end product?
is this suitable to use in a furnace to fire up for hot water boiler to heat house???
Yes, it is suitable for furnace.
It seems that silica gel is the most expensive item in the mix
Not really, it is sold as cat toilet, like 10 dollars for 7 liter bag, and needed a small portion, say one dollar worth per 30L of fuel.
Now I know what and how to make this happen. Alek, you are the man for sure. Look forward to make this on my own. Any other tricks you have Sir ??? I would like to know fella for sure.
Please note that this method works with distilled oil only, not the black waste oil, so you need to distill it first.
@@santeryi9 Please define distilled Sir ?? Thanks
So all things considered, necessary supplies and hardware, transportation/storage of fluids, absolutely necessary clean up of contaminates, but most importantly time... it comes to what $10 maybe $15 a gallon of inferior grade fuel?
Hello! This metod working for wvo?
The method used for the biodiesel preparation, so it should.
You used the silica gel once, can the silica gel tie be used again or is it only used once?
Yes, you can regenerate it by heating to red hot state burning out all the impurities, also may add some sodium hydroxide and turn it into a liquid form of sodium silicate, dilute with water, filter, boil water out add hydrochloric acid and turn it into silica gel again.
How can i remove oil from water in waste water and cooling water with Chemicals Treatment..? Can you guide please

а как со смазывающим свойством у такого топлива?
сколько стоит инструкция по сборке мининпз?
Топливо делается из масла, по сути это базовое масло ну и смазывающие своиства соответственно как у масла, еще я добавляю немного двухтактного масла. А так использую ка смазку для скользящих частей токарного станка, скользит прекрасно, лучше чем современная сухая соляра.
Цены на новую инструкцию пока нет - инструкция в производстве, старая стоит сто америки.
у меня форсунки заклинили через 100 км после использования самодельной солярки, добавка смазывающей присадки обязательна. двухтактное масло никакого влияния на смазывающую способность не имеет, оно лишь немного повышает цетановое число, на эту тему есть результаты исследований.

Если не очистить как следует и поторопиться то полимеры и смолы осядут в топливной системе, залепят клапана, форсунки, заблокируют насос, и тд. Я об этом говорю в своих видео, во первых после отгона надо отстоять, несмотря на прозрачность, сформируется много осадка, затем химическая очистка или отстой на сисликагеле, после хим очистки опять отстой на абсорбенте. если ест; сомнения то перед употреблением наливаем в чистую стеклянную посуду, даём постоять несколько часов и если на стенках посуды образуется налёт в виде тёмных точек - значит топливо неготово и в нём продолжаются процессы икисления и образования полимеров, они то и блокируют топливную систему. Все эти предосторожноти желательно делать до тех пор пока вы не найдете приемлемый для вас способ очистки топлива, в котором вы будете уверены.
У меня одна машина бообще не видела соляры с заправки около 8ми лет, на самодельной наездил около двухсот тысяч километров, сейчас сын подрос, отдал ему он на ней ездит, намотала машина около 430000км, заводится и не дымит. В соляру как самодельную так и с заправки добавляю еще присадку для топлива моррейс, таким образом решаю возможные недостатки топлива. Всегда обслуживаю машину, меняю фильтры и тд. Но с дуру что попало заливатьне стоит.
