o yea since your a farmer dont bother with algae.
i think that its very very cool that your doing this, i only wish there was a way
to make bio gas. Corn gas(E85) is nasty stuff and its not really bio gas. for the rest of us who dont drive diesels, i work on them.

i really think it would be great if you and your buddy could make a batch of bio diesel around 10,000 gal and sell it to the ships running on the great lakes. the boat(ship) i was on last summer is burning about 8,000 gal of NO.2 diesel a week running 3 generators for ships service electrical system. I am 98% sure that a CAT D399 or D398 would have no problem running on bio diesel.

the chief engineer on the training ship wants to run 100% bio diesel, but the GOV( they own the ship) wont let them run more than B20. the ship is running 4 cat D398 gen sets.
