I just secured my first weekly pickup of WVO. It won't amount to much at first, 30 gals a week or so, but its a start.
My processing tanks will be on a truck from Iowa next week.. then I've just to get a drum of methanol and some misc. valves and pumps.
Going from fabman's example over in the biofuel forum, I think I'll use magnesol for a chemical wash, so that I'm not waiting days for batches to "Dry"
Next will be a diesel powered Volkswagon Jetta or Passat... 40mpg for less than $10k with a fuel est. cost of $1.00gal? SOLD!
Check you out man you don't even own a diesel for 3 months and there you go making your own go juice. GO MAN GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

Well, My first Dr. Pepper method batch was a horrible failure, haha
One of the jugs I picked up at jimbos was a oddball smaller container of peanut oil (others were soy oil). This oil looked to be unused, so I used it for the test batch. What I got was about 2" of bio and about 1 liter of soap sludge..
(I'm thinking that just the fact that was old / sat outside /absorbed moisture possibly made it more acidic)
For the 2nd test, i picked up some virgin canola oil, and from what I've seen so far, it looks to have worked better.. I won't know until the morning when I can get back down to the shop and see what settled out.
I got some pics of the failed batch, and I'll get some of the (hopefully) successful batch in the morning
