<br>Anybody can make [biodiesel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile). It's simple, you can make it in your kitchen area-- and it's BETTER than the petro-diesel fuel the huge oil companies sell you. Your diesel motor will run better and last longer on your home-made fuel, and it's much cleaner-- better for the environment and much better for health.<br>
<br>If you make it from used cooking oil it's not only low-cost but you'll be recycling a bothersome waste product. Most importantly is the GREAT sensation of liberty, [independence](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) and [empowerment](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) it will give you. Here's how to do it-- everything you need to know.<br>
<br>Straight grease fuel (SVO) systems can be a clean, efficient and [economical option](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048). Unlike [biodiesel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb), with SVO you need to modify the engine. The very best method is to fit a professional singletank SVO system with replacement injectors and glowplugs optimised for veg-oil, as well as fuel heating.<br>
<br>With the German Elsbett single-tank SVO system for example you can use petro-diesel, [biodiesel](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) or SVO, in any combination. Just begin up and go, stop and turn off, like any other car. Journey to Forever's Toyota TownAce van utilizes an Elsbett single-tank system. More<br>
<br>There are also two-tank SVO systems which pre-heat the oil to make it [thinner](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price). You need to start the engine on normal petroleum diesel or [biodiesel](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) in one tank and then change to SVO in the other tank when the veg-oil is hot enough, and change back to petro- or biodiesel before you stop the engine, or you'll coke up the injectors.<br>

<br>3. Biodiesel or SVO?<br>
<br>[Biodiesel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) has some clear benefits over SVO: it [operates](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) in any diesel, with no conversion or modifications to the engine or the [fuel system--](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) just put it in and go. It likewise has better cold-weather properties than SVO (but not as great as petro-diesel-- see Using biodiesel in winter). Unlike SVO,<br>
<br>it's backed by lots of long-term tests in lots of countries, including countless miles on the road.<br>
<br>Biodiesel is a tidy, safe, ready-to-use, alternative fuel, whereas it's fair to say that numerous SVO [systems](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) are still and require more advancement.<br>
<br>On the other hand, biodiesel can be more pricey, [depending](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) how much you make, what you make it from and whether you're comparing it with [brand-new oil](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) or used oil (and depending on where you live). And unlike SVO, it needs to be [processed initially](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy).<br>
<br>But the big and quickly [growing](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) around the world band of [homebrewers](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) don't mind-- they make a supply every week or as soon as a month and quickly get used to it. Many have actually been doing it for several years.<br>
<br>Anyway you have to process SVO too, specifically WVO ([waste vegetable](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) oil, used, cooked), which lots of people with SVO systems [utilize](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) since it's cheap or free for the taking. With WVO food particles and pollutants and water must be eliminated, and it most likely ought to be deacidified too. [Biodieselers](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) state, "If I'm going to have to do all that I might also make [biodiesel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) instead." But SVO types discount that-- it's much less processing than making biodiesel, they say. To each his own.<br>
