Record Demand for Waste Oil Centrifuges: How We’re Scaling Up to Help More People Make Black Diesel

Howdy everyone,

Diesel prices jumped. Since then, more drivers, farmers and shop owners than ever have decided to make their own fuel from waste oil. This past month was the busiest in PA Biodiesel Supply’s history. Here’s what that looks like and how we’re growing to keep up.

Demand for Waste Oil Centrifuges Is at an All-Time High

When fuel prices climbed, orders for the Ultimate Force Fuel System took off. In two weeks, we sold as many systems as we did all of last year. That’s 100+ new customers getting ready to turn used cooking oil and used motor oil into black diesel.

That tells me something. People are tired of paying whatever the pump charges. A waste oil centrifuge puts them back in control of their fuel costs, and they want one now.

A Bigger Shop Built for Growth

To meet that demand, we moved our operation to a larger shop in Texas. It has the power, heat and space we need to build and ship systems all winter.

Even better, it comes with a packing crew. Family members now handle packing and shipping part time. All our inventory is under one roof, and finished packages go to UPS on a regular schedule.

That also frees up my time for the things that make your experience better.

What’s New for Ultimate Force Owners

Fill Up: A Free App to Track Your Black Diesel MPG

I built Fill Up, a free Android app for tracking your fill-ups and MPG while running black diesel. See for yourself how your truck runs on fuel you made.

A New Ultimate Force Instruction Manual

I’m finishing an updated printed instruction manual for the Ultimate Force. It walks you through setup step by step so you can be making fuel faster. Until then, the online setup guide covers full assembly.

Centrifuge Comparison Videos

Shopping for a fuel centrifuge? I’ve been making videos that compare centrifuge brands side by side, so you can see the differences for yourself before you buy.

Growing the Team

With the shop running smoothly, the next step is people.

Part-time sales rep. Someone to answer calls and product questions quickly.
Dealers. I want to bring on dealers who will represent the Ultimate Force in their area. If you run a shop or want to sell and support centrifuge systems where you live, email info@pabiodieselsupply.com with “Dealer” in the subject.

Which Inline Heater Is Right for You?

Warm oil spins cleaner. Most Ultimate Force owners add an inline heater. We offer two:

120V inline heater. Plugs into a standard household outlet.
240V inline heater. Draws fewer amps. A good fit for international customers where 120V isn’t available.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is black diesel?

Black diesel is fuel made from used motor oil or waste vegetable oil (WVO) that has been heated and cleaned so a diesel engine can run on it. Learn more in How to Make Home Made Diesel Fuel.

How does a centrifuge clean waste oil?

A centrifuge spins oil at high speed. The force pushes water, dirt and fine particles out of the oil far better than filters alone. The Ultimate Force is built to do this in your own shop. See How To Purify Waste Oil for the full process.

Do I need a 120V or 240V inline heater?

Use 120V if you only have standard outlets. Use 240V if your shop has 240V power and you want a smaller breaker system.
