See: The SVO vs biodiesel argument: http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_svovsbd.html
"SVO versus biodiesel is a pseudo argument that should not exist. It creates a false competitive situation between two good things and distracts from the real issues on how we can minimize the use of fossil fuels." - Hakan Falk So many SVO vendors take this approach. There's a growing market for SVO systems and for all ready-to-use biofuels solutions, why try to chisel off bits of the biodiesel market by spreading disinfo? I haven't seen Elsbett slagging biodiesel, for instance. But then (somehow it's no surprise) this is just yet another two-tank system, no optimised injector nozzles or anything a real system would have. "We are market leader in converting diesel engines for straight vegetable oil in Germany," they said. :-) Now what was it Greasecar told me... "Throughout the world we are recognized as the leading manufacturer, seller and producer of SVO conversion equipment." LOL! ------- http://www.3egmbh.com/eng/technology.php Theoretically there are three ways of using vegetable oil as fuel: 1. Manufacturing an engine especially designed to run with vegetable oil: At this moment in time, this version is inefficient, as the attitude of the automobile and mineral oil companies only allows a small quantity of these engines at high prices. Our aim is to change this attitude, distribute the vegetable oil technology and to establish the vegetable oil engine. 2. Adaptation of the vegetable oil to the existing engine technology: It is inefficient to change the vegetable oil into biodiesel using a lot of energy and chemical processes, which then destroy gaskets and tubes, decrease the engine's power and increases consumption when the natural fuel has already better features to offer. 3. Adaptation of existing engines to the natural vegetable oil: Our company has developed this from of technology. We install additional components in vehicles so a mode is selectable to use pure vegetable oil or diesel fuel without having to change the engine. Form and extent of the alteration depends on the technology of the diesel engine. 3E GmbH Pflanzenöltechnik From: "Frank Wohlberg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Your link list Date: Sat, 17 Nov 2007 14:34:23 +0100 Hi Keith, is it possible to put a link of our company to your link list? We are market leader in converting diesel engines for straight vegetable oil in Germany but I couldn`t find a link to us. Thank you very much!
