« Reply #-1 on: June 09, 2014, 05:01:42 PM »
I have access to alot of waste vegi oil. After looking around on the web I thought why not give it a try. I enjoy learning about new things. Today I converted my first batch of oil. Looks good, I will find out in a few days. First pic is oil mixed with methanol and lye. Second and third pic are after reaction. Notice the clean seperation.

This is one of the reasons I love this site.  It is still cooking-related and eco-friendly.

I have two vehicles, both diesels.  Will be following this one.

We have city busses using biodiesel. Smells like a french fry stand.  ;D

Friend of mine has been doing it on a big scale for years and claims no ill effect for power. Why not if you have the means and the time.
