There are so many benefits of using this source to replace fossil fuels and some of these include
reduced air pollution, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and conservation of limited fossil fuels.
There are two different ways that you can use vegetable oil as a fuel in engines.
The first way is that you can use straight vegetable oil either waste frying oil or fresh- pressed oil,
however you will need an extra fuel tank and a system for heating and filtering the oil before it
reaches the engine. The reason why you will need this is because pure vegetable oil is too thick
to work in the engine unless the oil is heated up.
The other way is to simply convert the vegetable oil into biodiesel which can be used in a diesel
engine without any modifications. Biodiesel is a fuel source made from vegetable oil when a
chemical reaction occurs between methanol and lye. It can be created either from using waste
vegetable oil from the food industry, or you have the other option of using it from fresh-pressed vegetable oil.
