How to turn plastic waste into diesel fuel cheaply

[wheels]

Hi, Wheels. No, it is not necessary to filter the liquid. Performance I get until now, depends on the type of plastic and other aggregates (pigments, etc) that contains. Varies between 35% and 73% in weight of liquid. In volume, I get more or less 1 litre for every kilogram of plastic, such as maximum. Only use 1 condenser.

Are you using a Lab set up? I had presumed you had a backyard u it. But the sample and the numbers you have expressed certain things with makes me wonder now if this is a small Lab type set up.

Very good explanation Excalibur, you know much. It is always a pleasure to read what you write.

Did you filter the liquid?
How much liquid did you get from how much feedstock?
Are you using just one condensing Pot, or 2 or 3?

Oh, I remember now, you used it in the line trimmer, so it would have been the naptha fraction.

Exactly Col, you have reason.

Champion effort!
Do the specs identify it as a diesel fraction?

Thanks Excalibur. 6 months ago that I have the samples, and fortunately they maintain their color. And it leaves no marks on the bottle. I've been reading the Forum, and thanks in part to all of you, I've been able to get this small result. Anyway, I'm not very advanced in the process, and I keep experimenting.
P.S.: the marks on the bottle would be waxes?

I believe the marks or discoloration would be gum from oxidation. I read where it was a problem when cracking gasoline first became popular about a hundred years ago.
Correct refining techniques and antioxidants prolong the life of modern gasoline but even so will still oxidize given enough time.

Not very advanced?? I suspect you have left a lot of very advanced people scratching their heads as to how you accomplished that sample. Well done.

That is an excellent sample. What was the Plastic type you used?

Thanks Wheels. Use 3 types of plastics. LDPE, HDPE, and PP. All recycled from the trash.

Nice color. Excellent.
Take careful note, does the sample darken with age? Does it leave a tide mark in the bottle? No doubt you'll have read previous forum posts of this phenomena.

OK, thank you very much for the advice Excalibur, that will do

I hope it does not happen that Excalibur. I uploaded a single photo. In the second post, since at first I could not. On my computer, I can see it, you do not?

Only the video is showing. If I extract and follow the picture link, it gives the message: "Invalid Attachment specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"
The solution could be to upload the picture to a image hosting site and paste the link in your forum post with [IMG] [/IMG] tags.

No I can't see your Picture either

Hello everyone. Although long ago that I have been following the Forum, and conducting experiments on the subject, my results are not as advanced as many of you. However I wanted to provide a picture and a video of what I have achieved so far. If my English is not good, I ask forgiveness. I am using a translator to write. My language is Spanish.

Great fun. I once run my lawnmower on homemade fuel. It ran well enough to mow the entire lawn however the next time I went to start the engine I discovered the carburetor had gummed up. I hope you don't suffer the same fate.

BTW, it looks like you tried to post a picture, perhaps of your fuel?? The picture is not showing. Please remedy.

This is the picture, which appears to have been no previously uploaded.
Let me clarify that this is the fraction of gasoline, which is where I get higher
