Another way to make bio-diesel?

Have any of you looked into this http://www.dieselsecret.com/index.htm? They claim to be cheaper and easier to make than conventional bio-diesel. Claiming $.46/per gallon. Any feedback is appreciated.

I looked at that website also. The question is, what will it do to the engine, would using it void the warranty? There is a lot of discussion on this already...do a search on this site and you can read for days about it. I am going to stick to the pump for the moment, as the jury seems to be really undecided about it. Many use it. If I had an older car without all the electric crap that runs our 6.0's (like my old VW Rabbit p/u I had for years and years) I would switch to bio-diesel in a flash. But, my truck only has 600 miles, so I am not quite ready to switch over.

Maybe there is a reason that it is a "secret"

As a cautionary note...If it looks to good to be true............well, you know all the buyer beware stuff.
