we take time to understand this is the day i'm in the look. it's karen muse, events analyzed by experts and critical thinking is this is with the weekdays. on d, w from the prior into the fuel tank is used cooking oil, the environmentally friendly solution for old combustion engines. i always say there are more restaurants than fuel stations to land rodolfo rod. it certainly is convinced that this technology and already use it to power his camper. van visa converts cancel the if i feel i'm doing the right thing, i'm protecting the rivers and protecting the environment in his mission with the camper. to educate people about recycling is gold. a bree cross border transport solution we're in a key of frontier 4 by 4 from 2004,

with a 2.9 liter diesel engine. and it runs flawlessly, and seats 6 people in big guy, we're living together. we've converted it into a camper. what makes this camper special? it runs on recycled cooking oil. this vehicle is called the edge of camper who can fit the edge you can't for has to fuel used cooking oil and diesel tv and it has 2 fuel lines. but also use this a small onboard computer to switch between the 2 fuels. this computer shows him a lot of data, like the temperature of the oil, which is critical information from them in this system only works with 100 percent vegetable oil. and what's essential is that it's heated remote 1st i use diesel until the water from the radiator one's up. and once the water is hot, that heats the within the oil tank, the was a coil system for
11:04 pm
a water heater system. it's been thrown by heating the vegetable oil in a separate tank. the alternative fuel requires a viscosity and burning properties. similar to diesel vegetable oil is not suitable as a fuel for gasoline engine folder. diesel engines, on the other hand, can be easily converted since the technology used in the injection systems and the mission systems. it's very robust, not the even though it's not an oil vehicles can be converted to run on oil, just see many can be one. but there are some specific motors that are believed to not support oil as a fuel some way not, but i saved them. perfect. so you definitely have to do a little research before adapting a vehicle, a bit of an indian. but if there are specific simple motors that also always work in the same way with you and, and then i mean my money to the onboard computer helps rodolfo switch from diesel
11:05 pm
to oil very easily. even while driving police opens the solenoid valve that allows oil to enter the engine. and when i press it again, it closes the oil solenoid valve and opens the diesel solenoid valve. then the one of the biggest advantages with this system is that you can refuel wherever you want and it's free of charge. all you need is used cooking oil from the kitchen. and filter must give me some more attention. i pay to the oil no longer my engine will perform. i have to filter the oil. if it's been decanted for a long time, the impurities will have settled at the bottom. it will go may i say for good, but if this is oil i collected a short while ago, you might have particles of french fries and been yacht as a chicken or anything that has been cooked in it came up within the system with
11:06 pm
a my oil fuel line, there's another fuel do that. again, filters, minor particles, speak, it was. so here at this point i really try to capture all the bigger particles, the bass over the after the 1st field tracing process. but also looking for the oil straight into is 10, which is located at the back of the camper. its capacity is 100 liters, which lets the vehicle travel around 800 kilometers. so the going to be good if i'm going to cover long distances. i can carry several drums and filter the oil anywhere. i say i use 100 percent oil. when i use oil, i use 100 percent oil. i don't mix it with diesel, and i don't make biodiesel either. and i don't need method all, i don't need to do any chemical process has to have the fuel. i get to a restaurant and i can filter it outside the restaurant, things use it to that. you said look, but you can't just use any oil from the kitchen. if the oil is mixed with water,
11:07 pm
for example, it doesn't work. since the process of separating the oil and water is too complex, plus palm oil is too hard to thought that the if i heated up to a high temperature, it will liquefy a federal reserve, but it needs to be very hot. the music there might, the, to my system can withstand sheet to 40 degree celsius, more in and in my vehicle need an oil that dentist would be bought can't be used to then. so the technology itself is not new. in the 2 thousands, some cars in europe ran on vegetable oil and gas stations. you could sometimes even get rate seat oil and full rodolfo. it's not a 1st for him to have a vehicle powered by recycled cooking oil between 20082010. the 41 year old drove from canada the to late and a b,

w. golf using cooking oil. the leaders the allowed out i had a 1987 vw golf, a 1.6 liter diesel named laura visa and one of them that also ran on oil. yes. is that expedition from canada to chilly lasted 22 months going on? is it ethics, place you on that kind of, we covered 17 countries and we had 11 people who bordered and disembarked at various points. it was like an uber severe and is there a $101.00 over at that time for adult to have the idea of using the car to educate people the securing funding for the trip. he visited schools, displayed the car, and explained the concept of recycling. give hello, what was incredible, was meeting very remote indigenous communities throughout latin america and in between us and to our maybe can reaching all the capital city, the scarlet. that'd be the most and collaborating with everyone with the messages
11:09 pm
of caring for the environmental zone. we. i'm being that we helped highlight the importance of rivers, you know, or use it in the struggle to take care of and defend the rivers and the need to educate people about environmental issues related to rivers, a, b, e, a, u, i didn't level. gotcha. and but also its current camper isn't just for his own use . the also drives it to schools in the south of the country and provides environmental education there. he carried out most of the modifications needed to make the camper run an oil himself. with the help of a mechanic friend a month to see to cause, you know, it's harder to co pay than to install an oil system in the car. in the end, it's adding an extra fuel line and bringing hot water to the system. you have a layout, what are the and they, i say the original engine was
11:10 pm
not disturb during the modification. there were merely a few parts added. it does a lot of things here. the radiator has an extended water circuits in quiet which we take to the external tank at the back, extending the now we have the main engine idea tiers. the injection part you said says here you can see the injectors. are you the name on here? we have the water after it's run through the cooling system. it cools the engine model and look at the one of the. busy before it gets to the radiator, we take it out a most ago. i worked at the end and send it through this hot waterloo that was extended to the external oil tank. and the back i was, i didn't ask you at the associated. thank you. the hot water from the engine compartment comes here to the back of the oil tank that is drained off through the extra water circuit. and with the help of this spiral of water, the oil is constantly heated. another water spiral was installed in the engine
11:11 pm
compartment where there's a filter embedded in this way. the oil arriving from the tank is kept warm until the end and is filtered again in front of the injection pump. there were some teething problems at the beginning. process chalet and shrugs of concerns that lines filter as an injection ponce could break the mutation based on a lot of people say all the injectors are going to fail to visit and they see them all diesel cars need the same maintenance you then you had a diesel car without oil see nothing, you still have to make changes. this kind of you, you still have to do make an injection thoughts have on by. and so with oil it's the same. you mean in the more you take care to filter and you can't the oil the longer you can maintain it and guide it some things here. but also can recommend this type of converted drive train to many people, especially travelers and long distance drivers. but he also thinks the months make sense for school buses and garbage trucks. in

addition to the technical upgrade for adult, forget the camper, a new color of the coach of the page. i feel like i'm doing the right thing. even though i drive slower and i get dirtier because i have to filter the oil and collect the oil. but i'm protecting the rivers and protecting the environment. paper. and i'm hoping to let other people know that they can also do so. and they can do it by recycling oil and converting all old diesel engines to vegetable oil is never going to happen. not all engines are suitable for the conversion offers no benefit for short journeys. and the time it takes to collect and filter in the oil as well as the slower drive it is likely to determine many people. but for those who still want to enjoy

traveling in a vehicle that runs on recycled oil, but also may have the right solution for cross border inter continental transport. the when the overview of, when i say i want transport from pad of going into a last, could it be inter continental public transport? i'm thinking there would be some vehicle. yeah, yeah. for vehicles of equal always criss crossing, the american lady got see. and the aim is to spread the idea that began here at the foot of the act of the week of ok now across the entire western hemisphere. but also data will travel many miles to achieve this goal. and who knows, maybe one day to find himself on a bus running on recycled cooking oil from patagonia to alaska. the

we are all set and we're watching closely in the we can use the story behind the news. we rolled about unbiased information. all 3 might get ready for an exciting album. toyota look surprised. hi, i'm shopping and i'm ready to dive into the hands of human to you. have you have a window quote on that. we've got a response and the unexpected sides of the thing independent arise to our society is full of contrasts and equality is a big challenge. many problems can only be solved by working together. yes, i think i pretend isn't misleading. what is home the cause of the roof over your
