From both an economic and ecological standpoint,
vegetable oils are the best alternatives to mineral Diesel fuel.
Vegetable oil is as convenient and flexible to
use as traditional fossil fuels.
Vegetable oil has an energy density (9,3 kWh/l)
similar to that of Diesel fuel (9,8 kWh/l) – therefore handling
and acceleration remain the same. Fuel consumption doesn't change,
either.
The savings in switching from Diesel fuel to
vegetable oil are considerable. Using our system you can fill
up with rape-oil, or with other oils such as sunflower-oil or
soy -> the reduction in cost assures a rapid amortisation
of the conversion costs.
In regard to storage there are no special requirements,
as vegoil is essentially food, and therefore is not a dangerous
water contaminant, and is not poisonous or explosive. Vegoil
is a completely renewable energy source.
Vegoil burns
largely CO2-neutrally, as plants release the same quantity of
CO2 during combustion as they have taken from the atmosphere
when growing.
Vegoil is
also environmentally friendly regarding other emissions, for
example sulphur dioxide, which is responsible for „acid rain“.
Vegoil lubricates
the fuel injection much better than normal Diesel fuel because
of its higher viscosity.
The typical
Diesel knocking disappears almost completely on account of the
very straight and homogenous combustion of vegoil; mechanical
stress – especially in the piston rings and parts of the crankshaft
– are reduced due to a better pressure balance.
Vegoil is
– from an economic point of view – of special interest to all
those who drive large distances and therefore consume large
quantities of fuel.
Vegoil is
in most countries taxed at the same rate as food (7 % VAT).
Vegoil is no Biodiesel: The term Biodiesel
means a chemically processed vegoil (methyl ester) which has
a worse energy yield and and worse ecological effects than pure
vegetable oil; it's about 20 Euro Cents more expensive and aggressive
to fuel pipes and washers. Vegoil cars are – like most of the
Diesel cars - not to be run on pure Biodiesel.
