I wish I could make biodiesel then I would start on bio and switch to svo then flush with bio it would really save money. I started to make a bioprocessor. But I needed the pump to move grease for filtering. And all of the parts were expensive and hard to put together just right. And I had a lot of parts already. Sad part is I have a 55 gallon drum of methanol on the other side of my house double wrapped in plastic for 2 years now. Someone gave it to me because they were tired of collecting and making biodiesel.

Shaking a 4 gallon bucket of cold veg sounds like a bad way to make biodiesel.

Every forum has the 2 sided debate of why would you make biodiesel vs why would you convert a car to svo.
This may just be my background or the area where I live, but what are your sources of vegetable oil?

I might soon have a place to store up to 500 gallons of WVO, but where do I get it?
The bldg is big enough to set up a bio-diesel processing contraption, too.
