Phillip,

There is more information out there than you can digest. The Journey to Forever web site has a ton of information. Some of the methods described there have been the source of some spirited discussion at the Infopop Biodiesel Discussion forum. Both of those sites will keep you reading for quite some time.

One of the experts you will see on all of these sites is Maria Alovert. She goes by "Girl Mark" and can be reached at wrench@tinkersworkshop.org . She had put a together a Biodiesel Homebrew Guide you might want to get.

Another book to purchase is "From the Fryer to the Fuel Tank" by Joshua Tickell.

If you go the Infopop site, perform a search on the "Dr. Pepper" method by Tilly. I have completed my first test batch by this method. Pretty neat stuff.

Good Luck,

Bobby

Here is one if you want to get something up and running pretty fast. It is one designed by Girl Mark also.

Having been a long-time subscriber at the infopop site (linked above) I can highly recommend it. If you go there and search for "the dr pepper method" you should find a well detailed method to make 2 litres of BIO. Scaling up from there is then a matter of how much do you want to make and how much hands on you want (usually little). A regular contributer to all the sites mentioned a (and this one) known as girl_mark or girlmark has plans for a "touchless processor", I believe at the journeytoforever site.

If I take the plunge and make bio I will start with dr pepper method and then proceed with a processor.
