A large auto parts chain which accepts used engine oil (such as Checkers/Schucks/Kragen) should be interested in this...if they have a market to sell the fuel to.

What happens to vegetable motor oil when it is changed out? Can it be used in a similar way? Can it be sequestered, or recycled?

Allen, Maybe I'm out of the loop, but I'm not aware of vegetable oil being used as motor oil lubricant. It's used by some as a diesel/biodiesel fuel alternative, although my brother's diesel Vanagon engine went south some months after he converted it to run on vegetable oil. I know that Castor oil used to be used as a racing engine oil in the old days.

I would be concerned about this. Used Motor oil contains metals and nasty hydrocarbons. It can be reprocessed commercially, but I would be concerned about the disposal of the by-products of the reprocessing.

Here is a company that specializes in bio-oils:

There are a few others that make motor oil as well.

Robert -

what happens to those metals and nasty hydrocarbons (and spent additives) if the waste engine oil/transmission fluid is not reprocessed at all?

NICE...good link Chingy,

Perhaps a syngas Conbined Cycle incinerator/generator. That way, you will get the metals/unwaned elements out.

Rafael,

Robert may be getting at the fact that burning a fuel laced with metals and spent additives is more dangerous that sequestering used motor oil in sealed containers, because releasing these nasties into the atmosphere can probably cause even more harm than having them slowly leak into the groundwater.

The purification process described here may be adequate to prevent such outcomes, but I think we can all agree that rigorous quality control over the fuel that comes out of this process is a must, in order to avoid these problems of atmospheric pollution. If I am not mistaken, metallic compounds in engine exhaust can also poison catalytic converters, creating further air pollution problems.

Since these devices are designed for small scale use at distributed locations, this is a real concern. The fuel that comes out of this device is piped right over to an adjacent hot water boiler and burned, not distributed through typical fuel-distribution channels, where it can be tested with regular fuel. Who is going to make sure the factory which uses one of these things maintains it properly, changes its filters, and disposes of the contaminant-laced used filters (and centrifuge discharge) in an appropriate way? It is entirely feasible that the manufacturer (or his agent) will take care of all these things -- but there no assurance that this will happen with certainty. Good policy controls need to be put in place to make sure these items don't fall through the cracks.

could i know what is the process of recycling used car motor oil,,,

please can you send me more information and price of equipment

Could you let me know about treating used transmission fluid for diesel fuel?

need information about company that specializes in motor oil conversion to diesel for overseas usage

I found the directions on making diesel at home by mixing
used motor oil with diesel and filtering it,but can,t
find the web site now. I am mixing and using veggie oil in my truck now and the process if i remember right is the same but want to make sure before starting can any body help.

Please send me further information about it

I think 100 litres per day is rather too small. Is it a day of 24 hrs?

tat is type "A" fuel? and can you run the type"A" used oil mix threw a diesel truck?

id like to to find the prosses for makeing used motor oil into off road diesel fuel

Please send me more information about from used motor oil recycle process into diesel fuel ,and the price for the equipment.

Regards
Richard

HI PLEASE SEND MORE INFORMATION ON YOUR PLANT,TO CONVERT USED ENGINE OIL INTO DIESEL,PLEASE SEND INFORMATION AND QUOTE FOR A PORTABLE UINT,THANKS NEIL

Please send info on converting waste oil to diesel fuel and phone number and email address where to purchase equipment

we use waste engine oil , filtered thro a vehicle fuel filter , mixed with about 20 % petrol and 30 % diesel ... or whatever is available , and chuck it in our Toyota truck ... works great .
Doug .

please can you send me more information about it, how it operates, what it requires including the cost. I think its great.

I need more information about your device. Can it convert used engine oil or other waste oils into fuel useable for the tractors. Can the sludge/solid procuced after processing be used as fertilizer?

What is type A fuel?i really want to know because i'm interested in this!
thank you

Hi to all, i have visited this site first time and i have collected lot of info from your blog,its really very useful one to all.I want to share about the grease trap. For more information:
