Seattle area: Science class made bio-diesel

Guys,

Favor needed. A friend of mine posted this:

My daughter and some of her classmates are working on a project for her Organic Chemistry class where they have created bio-diesel. If anyone has a car that can take bio-diesel (doesn’t have to take pure bio-diesel) that they can put in the fuel they made for their test, please let me know.

Anyone one in the Seattle area "game" to work with these kids?

Thx,

PK

Why not?

I think I heard about this...I work near Seattle (Bothell, actually) so I'd be game. Is this the one where they're turning used markers into bio-fuel?

Looks as if one of the teachers volunteered his car. I'll post the results here when I know more....

Entry from Peyton: Things went out well! We used our teacher's car and he started out with 20 gallons of most likely store bought fuel. And then we mixed a few groups together to go faster and put about a gallon into his car. Everything turned out really well!

Me: So you blended your bio-diesel with the dino-diesel?

Peyton: So our diesel probably ended up having very little impact on the engine. The main point of the project was learning how to make the biodiesel
