I made my first Biodiesel!!!!

[RKOCH]

I finally did it! It works! I am in the process of building bulk equipment and I will crank out more so far I have more of a supply of WVO than I can use. Here is the first sample.

P.S. not to sound to excited I just thought this was cool!

It's alright, that's worth getting excited about.
We've got two diesels in the driveway and are
thinking of making bio diesel as well.
The only trouble is neither of us go through a whole lot of fuel,
so it'll take a while to recover our initial setup costs.

Congrats!

rubberfish, I wouldn't be too concerned about start up cost. I built my processor for $450. I recovered the cost in a month.

Hey sagebel,,,, when I get ready to start,
can I pester you with questions?

Sure. I am hoping to be at BD(Abbotsford) in the fall and dyno on 100% homebrew. Once I get some time I am planning on doing a few tech articles over on SDD.com.

I've been looking into this myself. I work with a few guys that also have diesels and we may go in on the equipment together. My biggest concern is how well does this stuff run?

I'd like to run a tank before I spend to much money on it.

Thanks,

The truck runs fine. Better when it's hot outside. I haven't made a batch in a week so I ran three tanks of #2 after about 1000 miles of home brew and it runs better. The bio really cleaned out the fuel system. I also have almost no smoke with the chip in the "extreme" setting.
