Adding the Jatropha bio-fuel to the fuel tank for testing.
The generator requires a hand crank to start it. This time it is being started for the Jatropha bio-fuel oil test.
Two fuel tanks were used to run the generator, one with conventional diesel fuel, the other with Jatropha. The diesel oil was used to start the generator, and once running, the Jatropha was switched in.
Once the Jatropha seeds were collected, they were transported to Kathmandu, where the oil was expelled using this machine in Kathmandu University.
