240Joe...There was a post a while back...subject was "what does yours smell like" I don't remember right now, maybe it was even on a different board. ( I bounce around a lot :~) There are a lot of places online to get biodiesel info. You can start at http://www.veggievan.org , or http://www.dancingrabbit.org/biodiesel/flrecipe.html and then there is http://biodiesel.infopop.net/2/0/opentopic I think one of the ones posted here was http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel, and there is a pretty good write-up at http://home.swbell.net/scrof/Biod_proc.html, that should keep 'ya busy for a minute or two As for getting gease, I really haven't had too much trouble. I started out with just my cousins restaurant. Now I have several of them paying me to pick theirs up. I'm patient, I will wait until a contract expires and then I will pick up that restaurant for a cheaper price. ( why should I have to charge what the waste haulers do? I'm getting paid to pick up tomarrows fuel) Also, this is a very busy time of year because of all the fairs and carnivals etc. These folks don't have a good way to dispose of their oil. They will just about kiss your feet for taking it off their hands. I picked up 75 gallons last Sat. at a county fair not a half hour from my house. This Sunday I have to pick up an estimated 115-125 gallons from a county fair that is 20 minutes from my home. The following Sun. I will travel about 45 minutes one way to pick up about 140 gallons from another county fair. Then we get into the BIG Free Fair and another very Large midway event about an hour away. It's not hard to find when you start to inquire here and there! They (the state) only has one toxic waste dump and it is the ONLY place you are allowed to dump used food grade oil. (It's near Detroit, a few hours away) Michigan has also (this spring) recently put a "road tax" on Methanol (a key catalyst ingrediant)so my price per gallon of "the juice" has now skyrocketed to about .46 per gallon. That is why I'm working on a methanol recovery system at the present time. If I can get that to work I will get the price back down to around .28 per gallon. You can always email me if you need help or have questions. ( make sure you put biodiesel in the subject , as I do delete a lot of spam without opening it esp. if I don't recognize the name! ) Tom
