Regular Gasoline in Diesel Engine
#11
I know I am not a chemist, however, I do have an engineering degree. I do know enough chemistry to know that waste veggie oil is nothing like BIO diesel. Biodiesel is called "bio" simply because it originates from veggie oil. It goes through a CHEMICAL change (which includes and extreme HIGH temperature heating with additives like methanol and lye, dry washing and a couple of filtering stages to rid the fluid of any glycerin particles before it is fit to use) once it goes through the chemical change it literally become diesel fuel... it is no longer veggie oil. It has a much LOWER sulfur content but a much HIGHER oxygen content and that is why it cleans out your fuel system so well, and requires filter changes when you switch over. Certain vehicles may be able to run straight veggie oil and it if works, great. Keep in mind it is a RISK...just be careful.

So basically I want to know how much It would cost to get this draining? Is it as simply as going under my car and taking the plug off and then re-plugging once empty and THEN putting diesel in the tank again? Or is there more?
briansok…where did you get your car converted? How much was it?
