Properties of plastic fuel
The plastic fuel extracted from the plastic oil maker is a mixture of gasoline, kerosene, light oil, and heavy oil.
The ratio is as follows.
Gasoline fraction: 30%
Kerosene / light oil fraction: 65%
Heavy oil fraction: 5%
Off-gas properties
Off-gas is a liquid fuel when plastic is heated and the decomposed gas is indirectly cooled with water. It is a light flammable gas that could not be used as fuel at room temperature.
The main ingredients and proportions are as follows.
Methane gas: 20%
Etangus: 30%
Propane gas: 50%
Osgas passes through a flashback prevention safety device and is burned by the flame of MSR’s dragon fly stove to carbon dioxide.
Applications for plastic fuel
Plastic fuel can be reused as fuel for MSR’s Dragonfly stove.
In other words, if you have plastic, you can make fuel repeatedly.
Furthermore, when plastic fuel is heated from room temperature to 180 ° C by a plastic oil maker, the gasoline fraction is distilled. You can make so-called white gas. It can be used as fuel for portable stoves, stoves, and lanterns, which are tools mainly used for camping and mountain climbing.
Since this white gas has a lower octane number than commercially available gasoline, it can also be used as a fuel for lawnmowers and small generators with small engines.
The remaining kerosene, light oil, and heavy oil fractions can be used as fuel for diesel engines.
It is recommended to mix it with commercially available light oil.
It cannot be used for oil stoves and oil fan heaters.
Make recycled fuel from plastic waste and enjoy a fun outdoor life!
