    Re: Diesel Secret a.k.a. DSE -All you need to know

    Don't be so close minded.  I never said bio doesn't work - it WORKS!  So does DSE if mixed properly and requires less time involved.  I'm talking about the free fatty acids that remain unburnt if you use Methanol. The acids accumulate over time on the cylinder walls and round the pistons and rings.  This causes severe blow-by problems.  Then, you have a major overhaul.  It really doesn't matter anyway, because you are going to have to rebuild a motor at one point or another.  It doesn't matter if you use Bio or Reg old diesel blend.  All we're talking about here is the price savings /gal.  When I mix up 50 gallons of DSE and add the additives it makes 59.5 gal of product, that costs .67 cents a gallon.  Look into it and you do the math.  Products may cost more or less, depending where you live.

    How am I being close-minded?  I didn't say it didn't work, I said it was crap.  My Mercedes will run the crap for thousands of miles, it works, but it doesn't work well and will shorten my engine's life.  I can make oil-based paint work, but that doesn't mean I will use it.

    Ok well  you tell me the steps to setting up a biodiesel plant and I'll try that if you think it's better.  Share what you know or point me in the right direction.

     you must be a  Diesel Secrets stock holder...LOL

    or you need a remedial math class....???

    you cant make this for 43 cents a gallon as advertised.... ????

    KEROSENE ALONE TRADES ABOVE $4.50 A GL ON THE NEY YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.....!!! SO WERE YOU GETTING YOURS...AND AT WHAT PRICE PER GALLON..??? 

     

    my e-mails from DIESEL SECRETS...:

    Kerosene is not that expensive nationally.  The possibility that you have not found it for less and in your particular area may need to pay more does not change the fact that most people can make the fuel much cheaper.
    As to the Diesel Kleen, the more you buy the cheaper it is.  The 96 ounce bottles are much cheaper than the 32 oz size.
    As to the fuel final costs, even if you did have to pay the unusually high cost of $1 a gallon, diesel is already about $4 a gallon there.  Therefore you are still saving the same amount, about $2 a gallon that people down here are saving when diesel is $3.50 a gallon. 
    Thank you for your understanding.

    $12 for 96 ounces of Diesel Kleen at Walmart and Autozone.  As we say on the site, the prices may vary with location some though.
    We could not possibly have the exact price for every person in every area of the work at every given moment. 
    If your costs for the materials are higher where you live, it is fair to assume you also pay more for diesel.  In any case, you should still be saving $2+ a gallon.

    ^^^ Hehehe, that's funny.  My biodiesel costs $1.00 a gallon with methanol at $3.60.  I save nearly $3.00 a gallon.  And it's a better fuel.  You want pointers to making biodiesel?

    My methanol is pumped at the local dragstrip.  Their fuel store is open all year.  I filled my last drum for $209 (I erred above, the cost is $3.80 a gallon).  I get lye through a local chemical supplier, and most recently paid $89 for a 25 kilo bag of 90% KOH.

    Re: Diesel Secret a.k.a. DSE -All you need to know

    Hello I am a newbee with some basic questions.

    I got the DSE and tried it on my 03 Golf TDI GLS and it worked just fine, no power or starter difference with regular fuel or bio-diesel.

    Have any tests like dipping seals in the DSE for weeks/months/years benn done by anyone to see if any ware could be found?

    Any other test on the fuel beside looking for sediments? (and ofr that matter on ANY diesel/bio fuels. I understand the coking by glycerin/parafin of the engine is a longer range problem, more difficult to evidence, but what would be any early signs of that?

    Also DSE seems very attractive to me because not only it is indeed extremly fast and inexpensive to make as compared to biodiesel (with methoxyde) , but more importanly there is no waste as compared to the 20% glycerin waste from making biodiesel.  So if all elements are compatible individually and in mixture with the engines, why not use it, which I did?

    Anyhone else tried it? On what kind of engine?

    From (first-hand and forum) reports, the commonly noted first sign of trouble will be IP failure (any idea how much a replace IP costs for your vehicle?). Injector coking could also be an issue, and this could lead to decreased mileage / failure. Example here.

    Glycerin waste can actually be recycled into energy rather easily, though not at home. Our waste becomes electricity.

    dfb2k:

    Cold (unheated) oil will not inject properly into the cylinder. This has been shown in numerous studies. Additives and blending don't ameliorate this issue. The result is incomplete combustion, leading to residue (solid lacquers) in the cylinder, valves, injectors, etc. Further, incomplete combustion of veg oil in motors can lead to the production of mutanogenic (cancer-causing) compounds in the exhaust.

    There is zero evidence DSE fixes any of these issues.

    Hiya JT, i'm new to this whole D.S.E. thing and i've spent about 400.00 at home depot, napa auto, lowes etc. Just got my prototype built and mixed my first batch today. Gonna start runnin it in my 2001 Ford F-250. Figured I still have a half tank of petro in there and just wanna see how the ol pickup runs with like a 50/50 mix. It does look real oily commin out of the last filter but i'm not real worried about it. I've done some extensive research and am in contact with the owner of completedieselsystems in Lafyette Louisianna. He's a young dude that has been runnin D.S.E. in his F250 and tractors for a few years and swears by it. Guess all i'm sayin is that i'd  like to be in contact with more D.S.E. users so's we can compare the results...cool man, holler back. Are you in San Diego? Cheers, Bat Boy

    Re: Diesel Secret a.k.a. DSE -All you need to know

    No, i'm not a scientist or professional researcher...just some one who looks for useful info online. I've heard a lot of good and bad about D.S.E...you can always check newenergyreport.org, diesel secret debunk, and if you'd like to read more posts and comments from pros and cons go to infopop.com. I believe that there really has'nt been enough studies on whether or not long term use is either good or bad for your diesel engine. All I know is what i've heard from folks who use it with success. It seems to me that a lot of the naysayers came out and voiced their opinion back in 03' when D.S.E. began their operation. Most of them were folks that had money invested in their biodiesel set ups, that leads me to believe that they may have been a little bummed that they could do it cheaper and safer. Here it is 5 years later and I still hear about 50/50 good and bad...and they're still in business. It may be risky to experiment with D.S.E., but with Diesel at 4.50 a gallon in S.D. county, i'm enthusiastic about it.

    Re: Diesel Secret a.k.a. DSE -All you need to know

    Thanks for replying Bat Boy, 

    I've only known one person that used DSE personally. They used it in a Ford cargo van (box truck style). They had IP failure within 15k miles. Replacement price was ~$1k. There's also suspision of injector damage, but I haven't spoken with the owner in a while.

    It seems you've done your reading and are aware of the risks - that's really the function of this thread.

    Worning is spelled Warning and anyone who is using D.S.E. including me knows that when you first purchase their little concoction of "mineral spirits" , that what you are really paying for is the knowledge to make cheap fuel on your own. It does'nt take a rocket scientist to figure out that their additive is the smallest amout of quantity in the so called "ratio". The next time you are pumping over expensive diesel fuel into your tank....just take a look at it. It's way too thin...diesel's love lube and were designed to run on veg. oil to begin with. Granted...you dont wanna f#*k up and have "IP failure and injector problems...hmmm...why not just dillute it with a little petro clowns. Even if you put 10 gallons of D.S.E. at a time your still savin like 45.00 every time you gotta fill up. Listen up...diesel is the least refined fuel out there and the reason it's getting so expensive is cause the bloodsuckers know that more folks are buying diesels. Me, as a contractor needs a full sized truck and I will gladly take 15-20 miles a gallon over 8-10 in a V8 full size..for some reason they're not stupid and figured...let's just f#*k them at the pump.  I don't really take kindly to gettin f#*ked any more....don't be sissies and try a little D.S.E. Hugs and Kisses, B-Boy

    Anyone smart enough to hook up to the internets and read this thread will realize the "DSE" part is a SCAM, and can make their "fuel" even cheaper by not putting the "secret ingredient" into the witches brew.  Or better yet, make real biodiesel and not put injection pumps and engines at risk.

    I agree....but then again there's the argument of whether even bio diesel is safe to be run in your engine exclusively. For example....some folks say get another tank installed for starting purposes and run bio on your main tank. I think that more problems occur in cold wheather climates as apposed to our climate in Southern Cal. I've even heard that bio diesel co.'s are using cylindrical force to rid of any fatty types of contaminants in the fuel. The types of things which would render expensive repairs...any way you look at it, we are all experimenting with alternative fuels at our own risk. The beauty of it is that we are on the forefront of a revolution and hopefully soon our planet will be a safer and cleaner. Is'nt this what it's really all  about? I actually really want to thank all of the fellas that post on this thread! Agree or disagree...we're all lookin for the answer's ...keep it up cause the answers are all there! Thanx, B-boy

    I am happy to report that biodiesel is not an "experimental" fuel anymore.  Vegetable oil and blends are still highly experimental; they also use a significant percentage of petroleum products.

    Re: Diesel Secret a.k.a. DSE -All you need to know

    I bought DSE awhile back. I tried to find web sites that talked about the product and found none. I mixed everything the way they said. I mixed 40 gallons of WVO to the other ingrediants. I used a total of 6 filters to make sure there where no particals in my fuel. I filtered down to .5 (thats 1/2 of a mcron) micron. Iran it for 3 days. It ran great, until the fouth day. My '06 Dodge Ram engine light came on and I begain to lose power as I accellerated. I drove slowly to my mechanic and had them put it on their machine. It came back a problem with the fuel.  I changed the fuel filter and it run good again, for 2 days! Then the engine light came on and I begain to lose power again. I had purchased several filters before so, I pulled to side of the road and changed the fuel filter, again. It ran fine. The filters cost $16 apeice. The filters were very dark in color but did not appear to be clogged. I have decided to run the rest of this junk out of my engine before it ruins it, if it already has'nt. To you people thinkin
