Diesel Secret Energy

Does anyone here have any experience with this product? It is claimed to be an ingredient in converting cooking oil to bio diesel for about $.45/ gallon.
The web site speaks very highly about it. But I don't know.

Oh god, not you too?

This is the most spammed product in history.

IT IS NOT BIODIESEL!! IT IS A SNAKE OIL SCAM.

If you want to run a blend of WVO, kerosene and gasoline, just do it. You don't need the magic pink stuff that costs $40 a bottle.

And please don't link the site. Please. If you want to read what biofuels people think, read these threads.

its a scam!! and will only run in older mercedes diesel pre 85 and old VW diesels, this shouldnt be ran in newer diesel vehicles. Here is the $40 recipe free!!

1gal gasoline, 2gal kerosene, 20gallons wvo mixed together with 2oz. of power service diesel kleen. But you can just do 2 gallons of gas with 20gallons of wvo and no harm done.

We need to sticky the DSE scam.

But its a magic potion....it defies the rules of phyics and basic chemistry. Anything that can do that is amazing stuf....






um...that was sarcasm in case you missed it. If you want Biodiesel read up on biodiesel. The only shortcut to biodiesel is to buy it at the pump.

the secret ingredient is acetone. this has been coverred here a few months back. use search and type in dse or diesel secret energy. acetone bad for your lungs, skin, eyes and sometimes your car. i think hunter had sometning to add on this also.

I thought it was 99 % isopropyl not acetone. Unless that is the same thing and acetone is just a comon name for it?
