Typically $1.15 - $1.25 per gallon to produce. (20¢ - 50¢ cheaper if methanol and lye are purchased in large quantities)
Waste Oil - $ Free
Conversion $800 - $2,000
Waste Oil - $ Free
DSE Recommended Additive - 15¢ per gallon
Other ingredients - 31-45¢ (varies with region) Total Cost - 46¢ per gallon.
Conversion
Should replace ALL fuel system seals and some fuel lines for compatibility with corrosive Biodiesel
Conversion $800-2,000 for professionally made kits including tanks, heaters, switches, etc. Can be done cheaper by individual building own kit, but much less reliable.
NO Conversion whatsoever!
Time
Takes days to properly mix chemicals, heat, cool, separate, etc
Takes only minutes to filter and add to vehicle
Takes only minutes to filter and add additives then add to vehicle
HazMat
VERY hazardous chemicals used in quantity. Hazardous material license required to buy chemicals in bulk
No hazardous chemicals
No hazardous chemicals
Maintenance
Needs injector cleaning, demulsifying, anti-gelling, etc. additives
Needs injector cleaning, demulsifying, anti-gelling, etc. additives.
All needs of diesel engines met easily. Cetane levels, injector cleaning, lubrication, demulsifying of water, anti-gelling, etc
Conclusion
All around more complicated, dangerous, less consistent, and more expensive.
All around more costly due to conversion, about the same price per gallon if user adds needed additives, higher maintenance on vehicle due to added electro-mechanical devices.
All around easier and cheaper to make. No upfront conversion costs. Works with any diesel engine.
There is NO comparison. Our system offers the best value, least lifestyle adaptation, NO vehicle modification, and works flawlessly when mixed as we describe in our DSE Secret Energy Manual!
