What's the 411 on "Diesel Secret"?

[Razl]

This company claims that their technology will allow you to easily convert veggie oil into biofuel for about $0.46 per gallon. Basically you add the proper additives and pump the batch through a filter into your vehicle. Sounds too good to be true.

Why is their stuff copyrighted and not patented?

Great catch Kesta! I did a google on DSE and found out this stuff is snake oil and the company is targeting people new to biofuels with heavy marketing and false claims. DSE additive Material Safety Data Sheet General Synonyms: dimethylbenzene, xylol Molecular formula: C6H4(CH3)2 This is a mixture of the three xylenes, m-xylene (CAS 108-38-3), o-xylene (CAS 95-47-6) and p-xylene (CAS 106-42-3), and often also contains ethyl bezene (CAS 100-41-4)."

Looks like Bio-T has already done it and have all the "secret". This book seems to be yet another public info for sale. [ June 07, 2006, 06:55 PM: Message edited by: PandaBear ]

Many folks are just adding 10% diesel or kero and 10% regular unleaded gas to filtered waste vegetable oil to get the same result.

From the DSE manual.... To five gallons of veg. oil add... 1/2 gallon kerosene 1/4 gallon regular unleaded gasoline 4 ounces PowerService additive 1 ounce DSE secret additive ------- Don't waste your money. It's snake oil. There are thousands of alternative fuel users out there running problem free without it.
