I have a supply of good quality tallow/animal fat.
This appears to make clean bio diesel which i am going to run in my disco.
I blend this with cotton seed, as without mixing them i will not get enough fuel for my requirements.
The problem is that the cloud point is at least 15c, i am worried that this fuel will make my car unreliable due to filter blockage gelled fuel in lines, tank etc.
As i live in southern tasmania the samples of biodiesl i have made tend to be cloudy more than clear.
Put a bit of heat in them and they are crystal clear.
Has any one had this same problem, i know one the car is running the fuel filter heats up through the heat from engine bay, but what about over night.
I really dont want to mix heaps of dino in it and i will not use kero.
Has any one come across a good tank,line filter heater.
There are a few on ebay but am reluctant to fit anything unless i know it is going to work and be reliable (Wife uses car for shift work so you can see my predicament.
P.s i placed this on the melbourne site as there are not many of us down here in tas willing to help each other with bio.
Probably due to lack of good wvo supplies.
Please only reply to this if you have first hand experience as i know what the books and u.s sites are on about but i am not there, it is a bit cooler down here. Wouldnt be a climate problem in i was still living in adelaide but i cant stand the heat.
Thanks
