I've been seriously contemplating this; I even have an old water heater to use.

Who's doing it and how?

Wing,
Reminds of the days i spent on the rec.crafts-brewing newsgroup. Those were the days.

Surely not new to everyone, but here's some open-source biodiesel reactor plans:

Been mixing 1/2 kero and 1/2 filtered wvo for about 3 months now. Put it right in the tank w/o pre heating. I had a hard time starting it only one time. I plugged in the block heater for an hour and away she went. This was after she sat for a few days and the temp got below 40. Seems to work fine. I won't do this in the winter w/o pre heating.

A great source is Joshua Tickell's "From the Fryer to the Fuel Tank" he talks about the commotion around biodiesel as well as how to make it.

here is where you can get the book, http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... ce&s=books

I've seen alot of sources that state there is a gret deal of misinformation and plain bad science in Tickell's book. I've been relying more on sources such as bidieselnow.com, localb100.com, and the biodieselbasics group on yahoo. I also just purchased Girl Mark's book through the localb100 site. Excellent info and only $15.00 shipped. Building my processor based on the info there.

thanks very much for the kind words.

here's the book:

and here's something entirely different- a group-written website that we put together called the Collaborative Biodiesel Tutorial-
