To be honest you don't need any just make up the correct mix of methoxide add it to your svo container shake shake n shake again leave it for a week drain off the bio job done.
It really is that simple if you use new clean svo
 
You can use the same ratio as per the video with no problem, give it a go its very simple some like to warm their oil first tho, in the vid they are using the power of the sun
 
What a load of bollox that video is!!!
De-watering the old oil?????
Removing excess methanol and catalyst from finished fuel????
Final filtering of finished fuel???
Braver man than me to put that ****e into ANY car never mind a common rail!!
Rant overo_O

Well I did say use svo not wvo so no dewatering required as for removing excess catalyst it pretty much drops out completely but leaving it a week before final separation it does as it evaporates off.
Did this for 2years n 40k miles never had a problem
 
Cheers mate I need to fix my now leaking fuel tank before even thinking about fuel filled it up today got home to then get back in the car and see a puddle

Wasn't having a pop at you old boy it's that ferking video makes the whole process look so easy when in reality it isn't!!
I hate to think how many engines have been wrecked by following it!
 
Turning veg into bio is simple, making it suitable it run in an engine long term is a totally different thing.

Mr everlatesparky is right to flag this video up as being some of the worst into about biodiesel on the web.
 
I gave up on the old veg oil thing long ago. Used to use it in some of the old discos I had when it was cheap and it didn't really matter what happened to the engine etc long term. I haven't looked at the price recently but last time I did it was about the same as pump diesel, or not enough cheaper to be worth the bother. At the moment pump diesel works out at 90p a litre by the time I've had the VAT back.
 
I get my svo new in 20 Lt containers and just poor it in now days works out at 52ppl its like running a car for free if my p38 was diesel I'd do the same but its not hence why I'm fitting an LPG kit to it
