These fuel prices are really getting out of hand now and who knows where it is going to end.

Last summer when it was hovering aroung $2.00 gallon here I started to do some research on the Bio-Diesel but then they pulled the teaser and dropped it back down so I kinda put it on hold then but now I am looking into it alot more seriously. At the time I was going to build my own from alot of the designs out there but I did not like the idea of being exposed to the methonol and lye vapor as I don't really need another health problem. I found some that were already manufactured and were sealed. I am still in the research and what it stage now but this looks well made. I drive alot and I usually have to fill up or at least put in $45.00 - $50.00 every 3 to 4 days in the tank, Let me know if you have considered this route or already doing it.

Any idea what the cloud point is of Diesel vs Bio-Diesel? It wouldn't be any problem here in California but I am sure it would be of concern where it gets cold.
Thanks Jim.

I believe in BD but have been reluctant to make my own BD because I know once I invest in the equipment it will become harder to get free waste oil. This has proven true even in my rural area, once a BD plant was put in nearby that makes fuel from crop oils several businesses popped up that pay the restaurants for their waste oil and guarantee to haul it away on a set schedule, something I couldn't do. I would imagine these types of businesses will get more common as BD use becomes more prevalent.
