All they have to do is visit www.biodieselcommunity.org and this website is the granddaddy of all Biodiesel sites.

What problems are you talking about? Adamritch wanted to make his own BD. So he will have to collecting oil, prep it to make BD. Have a reactor, have lye and Methanol and do this each time he wants to make more BD. He will also have to deal with the waste products from making BD. All this is possible but it takes time and money.

I converted my truck for the simple reason I didn't want to have to deal with all that is involved with making BD. I filter and dewater my oil and it goes into my truck. It really a personal choice. Some folks do both. Run WVO and BD.
