Comment on 13 million gallons of Alaskan fish oil by Johannes Venema

I worked in Norway as a biodiesel consultant. One of our feedstocks was fishoil. Apart from the smell the biodiesel was actually a lot better then when it was made with used cooking oil. Also it remains liquid in the cold Norwegian winters. To what I saw the rendering of the oil is nothing more then cooking the fish waste. The oil will float on top. You will need to do an acid esterification first. What about this mobile fish oil unit?

Vegistroke system in or 2003 Excursion works great (7.3L)! It runs off its own pump and filter. Completely separate from the stock system. If it stops working for whatever reason it automatiaclly switches over to diesel without interuption. The fully “auto” feature is nice too. http://www.dinofuelalternatives.com

REMARKABLY, IVE ADDED 32 OZ OF svo TO 10 GALLONS OF REGULAR GASOLINE. HERE IS THE PART THATS HARD TO BELIEVE! I RAN THIS MIX IN MY DODGE STRAIGHT SIX CYL GASOLINE ENGINE WITH NO ADVERSE AFFECTS AT ALL! AT THE TIME I HAD LITTLE GAS MONEY AND AN EXCESS OF VEG OIL AT MY DISPOSAL. ODDLY IT WORKED FINE! I EXPECT YOU COULD EXPERIMENT WITH A GAS ENGINE AT YOUR DISPOSAL IN CASE YOUR LEARY OF SUCH AN ODD MIXTURE. AGAIN I SAW NO PERFORMANCE DEGREDATION. IM NOT CRAZY, BUT IT WAS NECESSARY AT THE TIME. GOOD LUCK IN YOUR OWN MIXTURE.

Yep, I don’t know what’s different inside since they seem to be practically the same. I haven’t had a Ford pump blow from SVO, but have lots of GMC pumps failing when running veg. Are there any pump-builders out there who can help explain this?

As far as I know, the injection pumps on ford 6.9 and chevy 6.2 are almost the same pump,except for rotation direction.

Comment on Alaska Fish Oil Biodiesel Grant Reopened by Lloyd L. Patterson

I think it is a great project and I see here in the lower 48 an opportunity at fish farms. I’m not sure what the cost of equipment is to get the fish oil but the project makes good sense. I believe that this could lead to putting the module on board ships and use the oil for fuel.
