Thumbs up Time to Start

Yesterday I was in Regina and got the last few things I need for making my own bio diesel. I have done alot of reading on the subject and I think I am ready to start. I am going to start out making gallon batches at first, just to get the kinks out and then work my way up. The wife works in a kitchen in an institution so I can get about 15 gallons of used veggie oil a week. However, she doesn't seem to be to keen about hauling it in her van. Anyways, as soon as she is on days off I can make my first batch. If anyone sees a large fireball in the sky wednesday or thursday, you will know something went wrong. And no it wont be from the candles on my cake. (insert mad scientest happy face here.)

If you need any advice, or have any questions, let me know. My father has been making his own fuel for quite some time now.

Thats awesome, you should keep logs of what you do right and wrong. I would be interested in seeing how it works for you. I think full might make his own bio diesel too.
