Our Mission Doctor Diesel is a website dedicated to all things diesel. Our fascination with diesel stems from the
inherent economy of using petroleum diesel and biodiesel as energy
sources. Diesel combines very high
energy and relatively low cost and thus, is a leader in energy values. Our mission is to educate, use, and market
state-of-the-art diesel products. Biodiesel Regular diesel is a petroleum based product made from the world's
dwindling supply of crude oil. On the other hand, biodiesel is made from a
renewable resource, i.e., vegetable oil, and that oil can even be waste oil
from restaurants. "From the fryer to the fuel tank" is a
reality. Most restaurants pay to have their used cooking oil hauled
away and thus, many will give it to you for free. For less
than a dollar a gallon, you can turn this waste oil into biodiesel which will
happily run in all diesel engines and some diesel furnaces. If you want
to heat water and/or your home with biodiesel, please contact us for
advice. No engine modifications are needed and biodiesel can be used straight or
mixed in any ratio with petroleum diesel. Engines actually run better
and last longer with biodiesel. Not only
that, air polluting exhaust emissions are only 20% of
petroleum diesel emissions. Biodiesel is renewable, good for the planet, good for your engine, and
good for the environment; plus homemade biodiesel is a lot cheaper than
petroleum diesel. This is a win-win if there ever was one. If you would like to know more about biodiesel, you
can sign up for a free newsletter right here.
Free Biodiesel Newsletter. We offer a complete and well engineered system to make excellent quality
biodiesel at home. You can make up to three 40 gallon batches of
biodiesel in as little as 24 hours and with only about one half hour of
hands-on operator time per batch. This is a perfect family solution or
better yet, a perfect solution for a small group of families producing
biodiesel as a co-op venture.

HP. All of our diesel engines run
beautifully on biodiesel or petroleum diesel or any mixture of the two.

might wish to grow oil seeds such as canola and sunflower and then cold press
these seeds for the oil. You can then
easily convert your oil to biodiesel with our FuelMeister II processor. We carry seed presses in four sizes.

presses. Petroleum Diesel While crude oil is limited in supply worldwide, petroleum diesel does
give high yields during refining and thus, requires less of the world’s
scarce crude oil. In addition, diesel
contains high energy and thus, goes further than more highly refined fuels
such as kerosene and gasoline. Modern
diesel engines, furnaces, generators, and water heaters are extremely clean
burning and totally unlike their smoke belching predecessors. In Europe where all fuel is extremely
expensive, 40% of all vehicles are diesel powered. European diesel engines are very efficient
and very clean burning. The United
States is just beginning to catch up with European technology. Diesel Burning Space Heaters Doctor Diesel offers a very complete line of diesel and kerosene burning
space heaters. Some are designed to
replace wood stoves and require no electricity. Others are fully automatic, multi-speed,
with set back thermostats and vent directly through an outside wall. These units are extremely efficient (up to
90%) and require almost no maintenance.
Diesel On-Demand Water Heaters All the hot water you want, when you want it. Quiet, efficient, space saving, and easy to
install. What more could you ask
for? Diesel Accessories We have fuel additives for both petroleum diesel and biodiesel. More Products Coming Doctor Diesel is constantly searching for other reliable, efficient, and
state-of-the-art diesel fueled products.
