So, you can make your own additive that has two benefits (more than, but at least the two above), and reduce the overall cost of your fuel bill at the same time.
A person could even mix WVO with their #2 if very well filtered and not too migh a concentration to cause gelling and probably get the same effects as bio-d. If using #1 in very high concentration for your winterizing, I would HIGHLY recommend cutting with WVO or bio-d.

I want to start making biodiesel but don't know what to do with the byproduct, glycerin. I know you can make soap out of it, but then I'll have a ton of soap sitting around and I don't want that either.
What do I do with the glycerin?
Also, you say I can mix WVO in as well but not too high a concentration. How high can I go without causing problems? 30%?
