I would like to produce sunflower oil and I don't know what kind of

And, do you usually burn it with glicerin or take it out? What about
motor problems after 200 hours for waste acumulation inside motor?

Questions concerning the conversion of car engines to run with plant oil you
will find under

To extract sunflower oil you can use manual presses or mechanical expellers.
Examples of both you find at:

Sad what this list has come too. Name calling and put downs the tools of
small minded people.
The article is being reported by many sources and if you feel it needs to
be debunked.
Then by all means have at it.

Why would you want to retard the ignition? This is the first I've ever heard
of anyone doing this with biodiesel.

On the lighter side of the issue though:
Once, by mistake, I placed a statement (below) on this site (while trying to
send it to a friend of mine privately): It said, "you know, Tom, this site is
crowed with urchins, so, don't worry".
Now, I feel was not wrong after all!! :).
Now, again, th
Also, retard the injection timing by 2-3 degrees -- this overcomes the effect
of biodiesel's higher cetane number. The engine loses a little of the extra
power you get with biodiesel, but it runs quieter and the fuel burns cooler,
reducing NOx emissions. (See also NOx emissions and biodiesel.)

That's the first I've heard of anyone proposing to retard timing to lower NOx
-- is anyone actually doing this? A catalytic converter would do the job with no
loss of power or milage, and no increase in particulates. Of course, you
couldn't run our high sulfur dinodiesel thru it then, but certa

If you look at page 2, there are no autoignition temp numbers for biodiesel.
Bad news for those who are trying to develop a home heating oil system. I
wonder if you could start a furnace on regular diesel and then switch over
to bio like in a car?

I agree with you on that, but the way it works in the world of
trucking, i
any one had experience using biodiesel to thin svo or wvo to make a less costly
fuel. I read about using dinodiesel or kerosene as a thinner so as not to have
to heat it up to burn.

Hallo Thor Skov,
I think I know a plant that is nearly in the way you whish:
It is Jatropha curcas, a shrub, with little demand of water and good soil,
which grows in tropical and subtropical countries. It does not stand frost.
This shrub (a botanical relative of the castor plant) produces see
