Vegetable Oil Lister Type Generator 6,600 Watt - Runs on straight vegetable oil right out of the box! No mechanical alterations required. Reduce your carbon footprint and save money using waste vegetable oil. Grow your own fuel planting sunflowers or soybeans and pressing new vegetable oil. As fossil fuel prices increase your system becomes more valuable!

The home energy system of the future based on renewable energy!

This engine's simple, tried-and-tested design utilizes the engine's waste heat and a 12 V heater to heat the vegetable oil to about 160 degrees. The high temperatures thin the vegetable oil, giving it the same visciocity (thickness) as diesel fuel.

How the Vegetable Oil Pre-Heating Works

The Lister Type engine is based on the original design first developed by RA Lister in 1929. The engine is legendary for its record for longetivity with many engines running in excess of 100,000 hours without being overhauled. This unit features a 1000 RPM 12 HP single cylinder Lister Type engine, indirect injection, pre-heating system for vegetable oil, vegetable oil/engine temperature gauge, replacable cylinder liners, cast iron piston, lubricating oil pump, muffler, pressurized full flow lubrication, oil bath air cleaner, fuel filter, steel skid base and is electric start. COOLANT TANK, STAND AND VIBRATION MOUNTS ARE OPTIONAL.

How it Works

Start the engine on diesel fuel.

Proplene glycol, a heat transfer fluid, circulates through a coil around the engine's muffler pipe.

The heated glycol enters a heat exchanger and transfers exhaust heat to the vegetable oil (SVO).

After exiting the heat exchanger, the warm SVO flows into a 12 V heater.

When the oil temperature reaches 160 degrees the three-way fuel inlet and return valve is switched over to SVO.

The SVO return loops back to the 12 V heater (not the SVO tank) to minimize the heat loss.

Prior to shutting off the engine, the fuel valves are switched back to diesel fuel to flush the system of SVO.
