Forest Gregg’s book “SVO: Powering Your Vehicle with Straight Vegetable Oil” is a great contribution to the vegoil community.
He has coupled an extensive literature review with substantial personal experience to create a dense but accessible snapshot of this quickly evolving science.
Gregg has included lots of goodies for the SVO geeks: an introduction to the chemistry of oxidative polymerization, the basic physics and bulk modulus in vegetable oil fuel injection and a comprehensive annotated bibliography for further reading.
I agree with probably 90% of his assertions, and appreciate how Gregg acknowledges the gaps in our understanding of veg-fueling diesels. The only section that really caught me off guard was his diagrams of alternative fuel routing. The examples seemed to point out unsatisfactory designs, but left out other acceptable designs – at least he didn’t included the routing method we use here in Alaska.
This is not an introductory arm-chair read for those thinking about converting to SVO. That honor goes to Ray Holan’s humorous “Sliding Home,” (available through the major SVO kit suppliers) with its emphasis on which SVO system is right for you – and whether you really want to run SVO at all.
Gregg’s SVO book shines as a fabulous compendium of current cutting-edge vegoil practice and theory. A great read for those interested in designing a robust vegoil system, and for current SVO drivers who want summary of the science behind their conversions.

Accurate Biodiesel Blending is Important to building global market consumer confidence. The biofuels industry must work to ensure that poorly blended biofuels are caught before they get to the end user. In colder climates, the thicker layers of the fuel can congeal and plug fuel lines, injectors or filters, stopping an engine. What is this material that congeals? It has to do with the feedstock that the biodiesel it was produced from. Feed stocks, especially those produced with used cooking oils (UCO), waste vegetable oils (WVO), yellow grease or animal fats (Tallow) will produce high levels of fall out materials. These layers of material can also be caused by incomplete removal of glycerin, soaps, waxes, or resins during the Transesterification process.
Government incentives are the backbone of the biofuel industry right now. Federal and state tax incentives are based on the amount of biofuel placed in the market. Companies that over report the amount of biofuel present in an advertised Wvo Filtering blend defeat the purpose of the tax credit and reduce government revenues. Biofuel advocates are concerned that inaccurate blending and poor press reports will lessen consumer confidence in their fledgling industry.
Companies such as 70CentsaGallon.com are offering cost effective solutions through a standalone biodiesel blending unit that will scientifically blend any blend of biodiesel. It has the ability to produce biodiesel at 350 Gallons per minute and if running non-stop it could put out 180 million gallons annually. It uses an injection blending technology that surpasses any blending technology out there. This set up is a 30,000 gallon gross set up which could be configured to the needs of the customers. These larger consumers range from governmental & city fleets to large transportation companies that rely on diesel biofuel to keep cost down and help the environment.
Just like any fuel station pump, a customer can pull up, insert their credit card, and purchase any one of three blends to fuel their diesel vehicle. The fuel is blended by two electronically controlled pumps and metering valves before being sent through the filling hose to the customer's fuel tank.
These units are self contained just run power to it and your ready to dispense fuel. No holes to dig, plumbing to run or assembly. It's the hassle free way to introduce alternative fuels at your station, or use them for your fleet.
The blend can also be programmed to suit individual needs as well. The units handle Bio-Diesel and regular Diesel onsite blending them into B20, B50, and B99 products. Fleet operators will benefit by consistently using the correct blend for each piece of equipment.
With new technologies like onsite biodiesel blending units to ensure proper blending of the fuels, the fledgling biofuels industry can grow and ensure global consumer confidence.
Biofuel will play a very important part in meeting the worlds growing energy need, Biofuel has a place in not only our past, but in our future as well.

Bought the #32 manual grinder. I got the first one from a different place (more expensive). It wasn’t a Weston but it looks almost exactly the same. The first one broke after about 180 lbs of grinding when the little pin which keeps the plate from spinning broke. I rigged a decent fix by jamming a short piece of a drill bit into the indentation. I returned that grinder then bought this Weston one. I’ve ground 120 lbs so far and it hasn’t broken; although I won’t be suprised if it does (the design looks the same). Not too big of a deal though; my drill bit fix worked good. On the Weston grinder, the bolt which holds the handle on was the wrong size; good thing I had some metric bolts around to fix it. Also, the blade on the Weston grinder seemed dull compared to the first grinder. I sharpened it myself and the performance improved noticeably.
I timed my performance. I ground everything twice – first with coarse plate, then with fine plate. I could grind 2.75 lbs/min during the second grinding and 1.5 lbs/min for the first grinding. It definately pays to regularly clean the blade and plate by removing the tendons which plug it up. Grinding is fairly fast compared to the rest of the process (cutting meat into 2″ cubes, cleaning the blade/plate, wrapping). As an example of overall performance, I ground 65 lbs of burger (130 lbs of grinding since I ground it twice) in one batch in 3.5 hrs including cutting meat into 2″ pieces, grinding, cleaning the plate/blade, and double wrapping in 1 lb packages. Meat grinds a little faster if partially frozen.
For the price I can’t ask for any better performance. I got exactly what I wanted. Now I can buy 2 lbs of beef for less than $3/lb, grind it up and get ground beef healthier than that in any supermarket. I get most of my good bargains at Amazon.com
It works well, it can get stuck from time to time but you just have to crank the other way and it’s fine.
This is NOT a Czech Porkert grinder, but a Chinese imitation. It is poorly made, with poor plating and rough machining. On the positive side, it actually does grind meat – but I had to sharpen the blades first.
This book is very well laid out and touches on the more broad aspects of VO Fuel and reads well for someone that knows nothing about the subject. It discuses the technical aspects of combustion, fuel properties and more allowing it to be a great overview but at the same time has the ability to keep the attention of the readers who have previous experience with the subject matter.
It has numerous underlining tones of an advertisement for the Frybrid system but disregarding that it presents a well formulated path to outline the objectives for purchasing or making your own conversion kit.
I was disappointed to see a few of the more critical technical items omitted however theres always the next volume.
Whether you are a 20 year veteran WVO consulting engineer, or a novice that is just starting to investigate the possibility of running a diesel powered vehicle on vegetable oil, this is the textbook that you should have in your collection. Starting with the basics of how a diesel engine operates, the author then moves on to how the fuel burns – and explains how vegetable oil can be used in place of normal diesel fuel. There are some issues with the use of vegetable oil fuels and the author describes the 3 various ways they can be overcome. The focus of this book is the method in which the vegetable oil fuel is heated to break down viscosity and allow it to be injected into the engine in a pattern approaching that of diesel.
While this book is largely about theory and goes into great detail explaining fuel properties and diesel operation, it also describes conversions and presents some generic diagrams. It provides enough detail that a mechanically-inclined person could design and build their own WVO system for an older vehicle. Enough detail is presented that it is not a matter of cobbling together a barely adequate system – rather the reader should have a pretty good idea of what it takes to get the alternative fuel into a temperature range that allows for long term use without engine damage.
The other aspect of vegetable oil fuels is gather and filtering – processing it it so that it can be used in a vehicle. Sources of oil need to be obtained and the author doesn’t spend too many pages on this topic, but presents enough detail for the reader to understand the issues and work with restaurants in order to get started. Each situation will be unique, so the reader will need to do some investigation first hand. Filtering the oil is the next step – removing both food waste and other impurities such as water. The author describes several tried and proven methods and he also covers some misconceptions that experimentation has demonstrated do not work well. This is not about a hack-job filtration system using used denim jeans for an inconsistent filtration media, he instead covers some common methods of filtering used successfully by many people.
This book is a must read for anyone considering running vegetable oil fuel in a diesel engine.
What ever you have to do, you must read this book. What Mr. Gregg has accomplished in publishing this book is nothing less than remarkable. Drawing on a wealth of first hand experience in system installations as well as several years of research involving some of the most complex research documents on diesel engineering and advanced organic chemistry, combined that with hours of conversations with some of the leading experts in the field and you have is a state of the art treatise that corrects many common misconceptions, introduces many new concepts, and is still surprisingly readable.
So if you’re a beginner or an expert with 20 years of experience you will learn a lot from this book.
This work represents over a year of research into the use of an alternative fuel where there are no schools that teach its theory or use. The work is a compilation of different sources whether online or in traditional print.
It is written in a simple conversational tone and is unassuming of the readers past knowledge base. The author even states that he hopes that the material contained within the pages becomes obsolete. Not many authors are so willing to have their work fall to the archives of “old works”. However, once you read the book, you will gain a deeper understanding of the rapid changes at work in this field.
The science is sound. The book gives good advice. Sources are properly credited. While it is not a “how-to” manual it does cover the basics. The book uses science to back up the “why” of a particular method used. I would encourage the reader to read the credited sources themselves.
It is not a definitive work on the subject. At this point, there really can’t be any one definitive work. The technology is too new. This book, for now however, comes as close as possible.
If you are at all interested in alternative fuels, this book has to be in your reference library.
I received this product in reasonable time and it works just great. I am thankful that there is a place where I can order the things I need without going to a store.
Great game, a lot of fun. Tons of things to collect and levels to explore. Multiple characters to choose from. (Once unlocking them). This was a must have for me. If you love the series or more grown up platformers with darker enemies get this thing.
