Why would you make biodiesel instead of just using filtered, unprocessed oil mixed with kerosene, the mixture your VW Jetta ran on?
“Gretta the Greasy Jetta” has run on a home-made brew of 20% kerosene/80% filtered grease. This is a great thing to know how to do in an emergency when there is no fuel available. It’s a very cool science project. And in some instances, this is an acceptable fuel substitute. This is not a chemically stable fuel. (It is two un-reacted liquids splashed together). It is not an EPA-Clean Air Fuel. And it’s simply not been tested the way biodiesel has.
