making bio-diesel
Hello! I've been interested in and researching for a while in making bio-diesel. I've ran across several sites that will sell you a "kit", but I don't know that I want to drop 5K on something like that. I'm more interested in building my own processor here and producing on a very small scale. I have 2 diesels, a 7.3 psd and a 7.3 IDI. I've done quite a bit searching on here and some of the links aren't any good any more. Can someone lead me in the right direction? Does anyone have a pdf of building a processor? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys!
Thanks guys!

Gotta get me some biodiesel!
Hi guys, I don't mean to hijack here, but I am also interested in small scale biodiesel production and would really appreciate some info. I just got my 6.9 IDI powered 70 F100 up and running. My original plan was to convert this truck to a diesel and run it on biodiesel. Please help! I just want to get started without spending a ton of money. Thanks!

This is interesting and valuable!
It just recently dawned on me that bio-diesel has been around.. Reason being, I am getting near the finishing point in my swap to diesel with my truck (5.8 gas to 7.3 DI).. i have never owned a diesel before, so I never gave this much thought..
Then today, a family member of mine who is the store manager at a fast food place was talking to me about the fact they have so much used oil from their cookers, and disposing of it is a pain...
Duh! It hit me... "Wait a minute.. I now own a diesel, and could use this stuff"! Needless to say.. I now have access to a few fast food joints and their used oil.. I like the idea of recycling this stuff, and not paying $4 a gallon!
Now I found this thread, and seeing you guys put together your own processing plants, and sharing info and tips, Hmmm.. This is very tempting to get started!
I already called around on some drums to start storing the stuff, as there is sooo much to learn!
