My one word for Diesel Secret Energy...















PHONY! I've never seen such horrible acting in my life. What a joke.

 

What a joke. Its pretty sad some people will belive it and buy it.

 

That stuff is garbage, and here is why.

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)."

also posted is an explanation of what they tell you to buy, more or less: a (questionable) SVO filtration system (they claim a Goldenrod will remove water apparently which I think is not accepted as true generally by experienced SVO'ers) and some household water filters for filtration (Dana Linscott has in the past posted some good reasons not to rely on pumping oil through those).

The MSDS for the 'additive' is available through their site. Apparently it's $13 plus $10 shipping, per each 12 oz bottle, which isn't a cheap habit when you add it to $3/gallon gasoline and diesel or kerosene and an additional cetane booster additive.

You're supposed to mix the dimethylbenzene additive with filtered WVO and
a lot of gasoline and kerosene and some cetane boost additive for good measure. In a 'Wal-Mart garbage can'.

Just remember, safety first!

There have been people using blends of vegoil and diesel or gasoline ("thinning
"), but there are cautions and problems with this approach.

There have been very mixed results in the US with blends because both used vegoil and diesel seem to vary a lot and solid material sometimes seems to come out of solution (not known whether this is WVO-related or diesel-related).

Perhaps in Europe they're buying new SVO and blending it with petroleum thinners, which I can see being an easier blend to maintain than some of the WVO we collect here. The Bio-power people (also not very well regarded in the SVO / biodiesel world) mix up their magic potion and let the stuff sit for several weeks to allow waxy stuff to fall out, which seems like a different practice than the Diesel Secret shortcut promotes.

Cold weather is a big issue with blends as well.

 

Man are you a chemist?
That was a really good explanation! reps sent!
Just thought you guys should all watch out for it.
I posted a comment on youtube. they denied it. i wonder why. (i wasnt even rude, just suggestive!)

 

Humm.... I wonder why they need to have the comments approved before they are posted Notice they need to explain why they are getting thumbs down??? "Oh there just our competitors" yea ok buddy...

You guys missed the "Real Deal" you should have gone to the next video titled: Carro a Pinga I have no clue as to what was said or what was being sold as it was all in Spanish. It showed a bikini clad honey pouring a liquid in to a funnel that was inserted in the fuel tank of and auto. She was eagerly being helped by numerous males.

Then it appeared that about 15 people including the funnel holding, bikini clad honey got into the back seat of this compact vehicle and drove away with a huge Chicken hanging onto the top of the car.

My point??? It was more believable than the "Diesel Secret ad" and some what more entertaining.

ps:
I don't think it was a real chicken!

Rog, just watched that "Carro a Pinga" Video and I have no idea what was going on! was that supposed to be an alternative fuel ad????

-Robb
P.S. Who knows! That chicken may be real!!!

 

Lets just say in my spare time I do A LOT of reading to try to figure out a way that i can power my beloved truck without the GOV't getting their greedy little crap hands all into my business. Weighing out all options, and making a VERY informed decision is always the key to a happy truck.
