How much does it cost to convert a diesel engine to Bio diesel and can it be homemade?

I am interested in how much it would cost for a diesel engine to be a bio diesel and if you could convert it yourself. I've been hearing that gas prices might be going back up so I came across this topic

  1. It depends on the engine. Many diesels will run just fine on B100 with no modification. Do you mean bio-diesel or WVO (waste vegetable oil) and SVO (straight vegetable oil)? Bio-diesel by definition has been chemically processed to make it look like dino (dinosaur aka petroleum) diesel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetable_oil_used_as_fuel
  2. free...you just need a to use a microfilter to get all impurities out..like a chinese filter...or u can use a coffee filter and it will work just fine using it..without any modifications...mythbusters did it in a mercedes 180 without anything done to it
  3. lol call phil valentine about it mon-fri 4-8pm 1-800-618-7445
