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.

Brew Biodiesel at Home

 

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.  Click here for brochure and prices. 

 

Small Diesel Engines

 

We offer small diesel engines from 4.4 HP up to 22 HP.  All of our diesel engines run beautifully on biodiesel or petroleum diesel or any mixture of the two.  Click here to learn more.

 

Oil Seed Presses

 

If you have the land and the right climate, you 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.  Click here to learn more about seed 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.
