GPX Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Hi I am thinking of bringing 100% biodiesel down to Isaan where the main diesel operated engines and machines are, and from my understanding 100% biodiesel has no effect on farming equipments, tractors and generators. But for the new common rail truck, which at present almost every Isaan family has 1--->> would 100% biodiesel give any side-effect to the engine?? I am investing in distributing point of this biodiesel (100%) in Isaan regions so i would appreciate any comments and feedbacks in regards to this. The first Isaan community 100% biodiesel will be in operation in about a month time in Loei, please share/advise me on what you know or think. I am doing this because the price in Isaan is murdering alot of farmers who barely earns from the 12months planting and harvesting due to the high cost of diesel which is at present 27.14 baht in BKK and in Isaan (Loei for an example) the cost of 1 litre of diesel is 27.90baht to 28.6 baht... so i am thinking my biodiesel which is selling at the price of 26.5 baht per litre will be of so much help to the poor farmers, and once the demand for 100% biodiesel is there among the farmers/agricultural organization, i will invest in Biodiesel production plant where by i can bring the cost of the biodiesel down to 3 to 4 baht lower than PTT diesel, which i cant now as i am just the distributor not the producer. Please advise/feedbacks/comments on this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deke Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I've been working with an outfit in Samut Prakan to manufacture biodiesel from animal fat. While waiting to get the results back from testing being done to compare our product to various specifications, I've been using the stuff from test batches in my 2003 Ford Ranger. After a little more than two months, no problems whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Deke, thank you for your feedbacks, woow 2003 Ford huh, i am testing it on my chverolet Truck too which is only 2 months old, well there isnt any harm done too, but just need more confirmation, by the way Deke you use 100% biodiesel or blend? by the way you are working on producing biodiesel from animal fats??? how is the result? but there shouldn't be any problem meeting ASTM standard, at present i am researching on a blend formula for some foreign organization, using 50% Beef Tallow + 50% Vegetable oil... well our result will be out in like 6 days time...

Normally I've been burning the 100% biodiesel. We've experimented with adding about 5% mineral diesel though, mostly to neutralize the smell. The 100% stuff smells like fried beef!

Yes totally agree with you on the stinky beef odour, man its massive... I have to take a puke each time i do experiment on that nasty substance. well overall 5% conventional diesel blend doesnt help much...so i see your point... Whats the CFPP point you got for the 100% Beef biodiesel?? please provide me with other specification as well if you have any... And yes Deke why isnt the government allowing Biodiesel to be sold to Pumpstations?? but rather we have to sell to PTT first and they will blend it and they will direct the blend to the pumpstations themselves????... But sale of B100% is allow but just not pumpstations.... any good advise or feedbacks on that??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clipped Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 not related, but...just fyi, almost every person that has tried to introduce biodiesel in thailand has ended up in a strange death...really, ive been keping my eye on this for 10 years now, when they were first using coconut oils...

Gary A Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 (edited) Sounds to me like the guy who built the gpxbiofuel.com site is the only one who is going to profit from this scheme. I'll tell you how to do it for $49.95. Edited June 26, 2006 by Gary A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
