Howdy,
I've just joined this forum so sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place etc.
I've just set up my Ford Trader with a dieselveg wvo system. I've yet to run it on any oil yet. I was wondering, after all the filtering and settling of the oil for the truck, is it advisable or possible to make biodiesel from the oil dregs in my filter / settling tanks and use that either as a blend with the veg oil or as start up diesel.

You're dead right, don't waste it. Filter out the crumbs, check for water and dry it if necessary as the creamy/fatty stuff can be quite 'moist' - then convert it into biodiesel.

Thanks for that.

Mind that from living in the blue mountains your "dregs" biodiesel will probably want to gel at this time of year. Save it and use it for a summer blend.



I reuse my dregs at every oppurtunity. I pour all of my water affected, scummiest chippiest bits of oil I have around and reuse it when I get to 20 litres.

I give my dregs to another forum member to make biodiesel.
Eventually I will get to it myself.
