Are you running into higher utility bills while trying to heat your home? Did you know that you could use a bio-diesel generator in place of the regular one and save a lot of money and energy? Here is a step-by-step guide on how to heat you home using a bio-diesel generator.
Step 1
The first step is for you to contact a good electrician and determine the amount of energy that your house consumes, with all the appliances running, in a day. The consumption required would be calculated by the electrician based on the size of your house, your lifestyle and the number of electrical appliances that are being used.
Step 2
Search for a diesel generator in your locality and purchase it. You can easily find one at a store that sells lawn mowers.
Step 3
Once you have purchased the diesel generator, your electrician can install it following the instructions supplied by the generator manufacturer.
Step 4
Once the installation is complete, fill up the generator’s tank with diesel. Turn on all the appliances that you will be using regularly in your house and start running the generator.
Step 5
When you complete the above step, you will be in a comfortable position, as you will know that all your home appliances are working properly when used with a diesel generator. It’s now time to convert your diesel generator to run on bio-diesel. Even as the generator is running on diesel, fill up the tank by slowly pouring bio-diesel.
Step 6
You can easily find out the difference when your generator starts to function entirely on bio-diesel. The hum that the generator produces while running on normal diesel will be a bit louder while the hum will be smoother and quieter when running on bio-diesel. Another way to find this out is by smelling the exhaust. When the generator runs on bio-diesel you will be able smell sweetness.
Step 7
Periodically monitor and maintain your generator properly. When your family size increases you must also replace your existing generator with a more powerful one. You will be able to save more by turning off your bio-diesel generator whenever your house is empty.
You will actually get addicted to bio-diesel when you start receiving lower utility bills.

The Best Generator Choice is a Diesel Generator?
The best remedy for power failure is a home generator. Some are large, expensive and very noisy. Some home owner’s associations or local codes will not permit their installation. For those that do the right generator must be chosen for maximum power production and efficiency. The best choice is a diesel generator. They have a proven record of accomplishment and last far longer than their gasoline powered counterparts. They are not only used in the event of a home power failure, but are also found in off-grid cabins and small portable units are commonly found with RV’s (recreational vehicles). They are also used in boats for cabin power. They can be found in parks (if permitted) for powering party equipment. Knowing which size to buy is not difficult. Make a list of all the electronic devices that will be used and add them by the wattage. Decide if the model needed will be portable or not. Professional installation may be required by local codes or the home owner’s insurance for non-portable models. A concrete slab may also need to be installed for the non-portable model to prevent contact with the soil. Although the portable generator does not need a special outdoor resting place, it does need to be outside when operating, as the exhaust gasses are poisonous. The obvious advantage is that at the end of its required use it can be brought back inside the garage for storage. They efficiently run on biodiesel as well as regular diesel fuel- many diesel generator and vehicle owners make their own. The home-made biodiesel cannot be sold, as special licenses are first required. Biodiesel is simply vegetable oil (from any source) that has been treated to remove the glycerin. The glycerin will clog the engine just as cholesterol will clog a human heart. They can also run on mixed biodiesel fuel. This is sold with a particular designation such as B20. The “B” means biodiesel (or treated vegetable oil) and the number tells the percentage contained in the fuel. For example, B20 means a mix of is 20% biodiesel and 80% regular diesel. Mixing biodiesel and regular will not harm the engine.

Why don't more people use biodiesel in their diesel trucks?
It would be great if more people used biodiesel in the diesel trucks! However, at least in Michigan, you can not legally sell the biodiesel you make at home and many people do not want to put the time and effort into making it themselves. There are a few negatives to using biodiesel in diesel trucks. First, there is limited availability of biodiesel fuel. Next, the cost is much higher for biodiesel. Also, fuel economy is off by at least 10%. Additionally, biodiesel may be a concern in cold weather and in older vehicles.
