I'm curious too -
Has anyone here actually tried this stuff, or at least looked at the process DSE describes to make the 'fuel'? I checked out the site and it does look interesting, to say the least. I'm new to this forum, but I've been researching WVO, biodiesel, two tank, one tank, you-name-it for a while and they all seem to have some potential drawbacks, either in modifications to the vehicle, or time spent in producing the fuel. This product seems to have these drawbacks eliminated, but I'd also like to hear from someone who has actually tried it, to hear either the good or bad on it.

A person I work with uses it and it works pretty good. He has a mid 90's (I think) Jetta with the Ecodiesel. I don't think the actual product does anything that the added kero, gas and diesel additive does already. You can probably save the extra 20 bucks and just mix a brew on your own like other people have said. Eric.

In my case, I consider my time free to be valuable and would rather do something I find exciting than to gather and process the fuel. Since it doesn't pay enough for me to do it, I'd rather not suffer the inconvenience. Also, I have nowheres to store the stuff so, if I had to build an area, that would incur costs. Now, if you live in a farming area or have the space advailable and don't mind getting your hands dirty and do cleanup and your time is not worth anything, it could be that cheap. There is always a cost. The only difference is how the cost is presented to you. Think of your pocket and dump $1 in it. How you do that is up to you. 100 pennies, 4 quarters, 10 dimes, 20 nickles or a $1 bill. Either way, you still have $1

Aklim, I agree with all that. There is always a cost involved. However, the drawbacks I speak of have less to do with time, and more to do with vehicle modifications, reduced engine life, or destroyed engine seals. I'd certainly be interested in a product that doesn't require any engine mods, didnt' reduce engine life, and didn't promote the destruction of gaskets, o-rings and seals. I love my Benz, and want to keep it in the very best shape I can, but am looking towards the future and a possible petrol crisis. Procuring used oil will be messy, for sure, but it beats not having fuel at all, no? I have several friends that run their businesses with diesel trucks, and I'm sure they would welcome a lower cost fuel supply, too.
VegiBenz, what kero, gas and diesel additives do you speak of? If I knew how to blend my own additive, I'd certainly do it. I've heard of the 4:1 SVO:RUG blend, but I haven't read enough feedback on that yet to use it. Also, the specific gravity of that is still quite a bit higher than that of diesel and it makes me wary to run it as a permanent replacement. This other 'fuel' that DSE promotes seems to have pretty much the same SG, thus would act the same as diesel in the injectors and pumps. I may order the basic kit and examine it and post what I find out about it here. |
