How Different Oils Influence
The Gel Point Of Biodiesel
- A Study In Cold Flow Properties

 A while back we made samples of biodiesel from different types of oils and tested them over a winter to see which ones held up the best to gelling. The results might surprise you! Some did extremely well, while others were just flat out miserable!
From our research, we also wrote a separate article on how to successfully use biodiesel all winter long. It's packed with lots of tips & tricks we've picked up over the years on how to burn the great stuff when the temperatures drop!

We even measured it pumping vegetable oil at 30 GPM once! It's the ultimate portable oil transfer gear pump!

Fuel Filter Heaters
 We have 12 volt fuel filter heaters available in 200 and 100 watts that easily wrap around and velcro to most fuel filters. They run off of your vehicle battery and apply heat right to the side of the fuel filter to keep it nice & toasty warm!
They're available in 6"x11" or in 3"x9.5" lengths and work extremely well!
Heat Exchangers
  We have two great engine coolant heat exchangers that can be used to keep your WVO, WMO, Biodiesel, and even Diesel Fuel nice & warm by using your engines own natural heat!
Fuel passes through one set of ports on the exchanger while heated engine coolant flows through the other set. The heat from the coolant is passed to the fuel warming it up & getting it nice & hot and ready to be fed to the injection system.
 Our 1200 Watt 4" Wide Heavy Duty metal drum heater is perfect for keeping your veggie oil, waste motor oil, or biodiesel nice & warm! It has an adjustable thermostat from 50 to 425 Deg. F and runs off of a standard 120 volt power outlet. We also have them available for plastic drums as well!
 These heavy duty 1,000 Watt Drop In Heaters are great for keeping oil or Biodiesel from gelling up on you.
They've been used with great success in water washing barrels too! You just suspend the heater into the Biodiesel to keep it nice & toasty warm while water washing! They're 18.5" long and have a 3" wide shield on them to protect the element. They come with a 6 foot power cord and are powered by a standard 120 volt circuit.
 This bolt on heater is designed to fit our Raw Power Centrifuge, but it also makes an excellent stand-alone heater for all sorts of applications where inline heat is desired (ie. on a pump mixing biodiesel processor, in a drying tank, in a circulation tank to keep oil & bio warm, etc). It comes with a heavy duty 1,000 watt element with an integrated thermostat that can accept 120 or 220 volts.
 Check out our cool Babington Balls! We have them available in 3" or 1.5" sizes with 1/4" threaded inserts.

Chevy Cruze Diesel Review

 Chevy has just released a new diesel vehicle called the Cruze! It's powered by a VM Motori diesel engine (similar to the Jeep Liberty Diesel) and can get an EPA Estimated 46 MPG on the highway. It also comes factory ready to handle up to 20% Biodiesel (B20)!
We recently had the chance to test drive this sweet, new ride and devoted a whole article to it! It's loaded with lots of goodies, goes down the road really well, and was a heck of a lot of fun to drive!
