Biodiesel
Nib, Sure, I'll share any experience I have. What do you want to know? I bought my 240D to run Bio in it & eventually convert to SVO. I built a big, 45 or so gallon processor for making it in. I've run about 100 gallons so far with no trouble except for the bio cleaning the sludge out of my fuel tank and clogging my filters. I had to pull the tank and clean it out, not a big deal in this car. I moved this fall & haven't gotten my processor running again yet, although these diesel prices are going to push me to start again, probably this weekend!! I get methanol for $1.22/gal from work, a paint factory, you only use 1 gallon of MeOH for each 5 gallons of oil. I get the oil for free from restaurants.
You can see pictures of my processor on my site at www.emeraldisleforge.netfirms.com
