Anybody tried this stuff?

Diesel Secret Energy - Alternative Biofuel Biodiesel

I posted this on the diesel forum but maybe it belongs here. Anyone know anything about this product?

Diesel Secret Energy - Alternative Biofuel Biodiesel

Scam..
 
Not really sure if this has been discussed on the forum. (guessing it has) From what I understand this 'secret' is just paint thinner or something like it to thin down the wvo. I've been making biodiesel for a few years. That said I've encountered a guy who ruined his injection system after using that stuff.

Use diesel or biodiesel. No swo or wvo. Thats my 2 cents worth

This snake oil is still around? I guess there really is a sucker born every minute.

Shouldn't this thread be moved to the alt fuels sub-forum?
Probably just another case of "Death in a Jug" !!

As I recall, it is basically just a cetane booster.
If you want to run WVO do it right and buy or
build a proper two tank system and prepare the oil correctly.

No way
 
Looks real gimmicky. And I couldn't even find anywhere on the site that actually explains how this product works. Is it an additive? Or an alternative fuel? Or an additive for alternative fuel? Plus it says that it will cost you 60 cents per gallon and save you 3 dollars per gallon, which practically speaking would only be possible if you are already using some sort of free fuel like WVO or something given this 'magical formula.' That, and the website looks like a huge sales pitch ...

Its bogus,its paint stripper,to thin wvo,plus you add diesel.I'd rather run 50/50 if not using proper heaters

The process is for real but the chemical they sell is pointless. This is only recomended for older diesels and for sure not the bluetechs.

has anyone heard of using beads (zeolite maybe) to absorb all the acids and crap in WMO, I had seen a site selling these bead bags that allegedly sucked up all kinds of crap to make junk oil palatable for the engine
