Make Your Own Biodiesel
Definition
Biodiesel is a non-petroleum fuel made from vegetable oils or animal fats, which can be used, alone or blended, in unconverted diesel-engine vehicles. Biodiesel is different from the straight vegetable oil (SVO) that is used alone or blended as a fuel in some converted diesel-engine vehicles.
