OK I have heard about the vegetable fryer oil has any one used waste corn oil from an ethanol plant we get several 5 gal buckets of this stuff daily I have wondered about using it as wvo

ps: I work in and ethanol plant

 

I see no issues using it, just filter/dewater it very well. You're not planning on putting it right in the diesel tank I hope...

check out WVO Diesel Conversion | SVO Grease Conversion | Ford Vegistroke Powerstroke | Biodiesel Conversion mostly a Ford site, some Dodge guys, but tons of good general info about WVO use.

 

would like to get some corn oil from ethanol plant do all plants have some extra oil

 

I run two idi fords on wvo runs great just make sure you filter the crap out of it, and never pull oil from the bottom of the barrel.

 

they all do some are now extruding the oil out that oil goes for bio diesel

 

Why don't you just throw a shovel full of dirt in your tank and filter that?

That wvo crap is FULL of dirt. Use used oil instead!!!

 

splain this sir? how is wvo full of dirt?



speaking of corn oil. if you get a supply of lets say veg oil and peanut oil, can you mix them or keep them seperate?

 

My chicken wings or french fries never have dirt on them

 

If your french fries never had dirt on them, how did the potato grow? And dirt is the least of my concerns with chickens! Doesn't stop me from eating either when propperly prepared. Prepare your corn oil and truck propperly and it should work fine.

Be sure to filter your waste motor oil down to two mircon before you put it in your truck also, as a general rule it'll have a lot worse stuff than wvo in it. Thinking wear metals and such. Filter it good and it'll be fine.

 

what is the flash point of corn oil? i know peanut oil is one of the higher ones at around 800 degrees and still burns in the engine, so corn should do great.

if you have a continuous supply i would recommend investing in a centrifuge to clean it. something like this:
in the warmer weather you may be able to run 100% but in the cooler weather you should process it into BIO, run it at a lower % or thin it.

there are tones of threads on running SVO or converting to BIO
