Converting Your Vehicle to Run on Used Vegetable Oil

This workshop focuses on a unique and innovative system never before offered in any public presentation. The system has brilliant features making it particularly useful in cold (or any) climate while being elegantly simplified. It is the result of 55 years of experience by a retired physics professor and has been perfected in a series of vehicles to operate reliably.

The workshop will include the following:

• Introduction to basic concepts, related physical properties, and technology; including a brief hand-on encounter with some plumbing and electrical related construction substance.
• Explication of the exceptional system developed by Philon Aloni, including its unique benefits for our climate as well as how to do this yourselves.
• Examination of an operating example of a converted vehicle done by Philon will be available for examination by participants, along with explanation.
• Presentation of the merits of various kinds of pre-engineered conversion kits.
• Discussion of supply issues: how to obtain used vegetable oil, process it for use in vehicles, and store it.
• Introduction of the Waste Bio-Diesel Co-operative approach to solve the supply issues in a low-cost, low-fuss, and low-time method.

This design has been successful in solving basic issues that might limit the approach of used vegetable oil as vehicle fuel, even in a cold area like the North. For example, only a one or two minute start with diesel before switching to veggie oil is needed, even in regular cold winter operation, and then the vehicle will be ready to roll. This is extraordinary! It even offers the highly useful option of not requiring an initial use of diesel to warm the vegetable oil, even in cold winter temperatures. While such a start is not recommended for regular use it is still quite a breakthrough!

Led by physicist Philon Aloni who did his first conversion 55 years ago of a fishing vessel to use waste fish oil. He has converted numerous engines ever since focusing on automobiles. Philon will present on his own improved system for Converting Your Vehicle to Run on Used Vegetable Oil. This is the first time ever that Philon has offered a workshop on this achievement.

Also presenting is Diego Medina, a sustainable energy consultant with years of experience, much international, including building a range of sustainable power systems ranging from diversified systems for communities of over 500 persons to individual vehicle conversions. Diego will present about installing various pre-engineered conversion kits. And he will present about the “Waste Biodiesel Co-op”. Diego has built numerous waste vegetable systems that were incorporated into several types of vehicles and diesel generators to produce electricity. He has learned how to work with these systems in different climates of the world and learned about how climate can change the design of the system. He is knowledgeable about the collection of the fuel itself and effective processes of how to clean the fuel and prepare the fuel for use in these various systems. He is deeply familiar with and supportive of Philon’s unique and useful system.

Coffee, tea, and light refreshments will be offered. Free, but donations gratefully accepted to keep us going.

So that participants can concentrate on understanding the presentation, we will be making a basic audio recording that will be shared with participants. Anyone wishing to make a video recording of this event, please contact us. That would be welcome, as would photography. This event focuses on a unique and brilliant approach that has never before been offered in any workshop or public presentation. It would have greater interest.

There will be ample time for questions during the presentation, questions are highly encouraged. The presenters will be offering their contact information to participants for further consultations after the event. This “How to do it” workshop is particularly recommended for the do-it-yourselfer and the aspiring do-it-yourselfer.

Saturday, April 16, 1-5 pm. Tantallon Public Library. Free – All Welcome. No Pre-registration. Lots of room
