Anyone seen these? BioPro BioD makers...
I found this http://www.ssienergy.com/BioPro150.html recently doing some research trying to cut down my fuel bill. I'm burning about 400 gallons/month. That's a lot or not a lot... which is the problem. A lot when I pay the fuel bill, but not a lot when trying to find an alternative.
I found plans and kits to make bioD... but I'm not thrilled about heating a mixture with methanol in a water heater. While looking I found the BioPro 150 and 190.
It sounds good... still doing the math thing but it looks like it'd take 8 to 10 months to recoup the price of the unit. Maybe less, if fuel was cheaper I'm sure I'd run the tractors more and drive more freely.
Has anyone seen these?
Does anyone use them?
Problems?
Cons / Pros?
Is there somewhere near Atlanta I can go see one working?
I'm stuck in the "If it seems too good to be true..." mode.
