I'm running a tank of B99 right now. It was about 30 this morning and it started right up. My fuel system has been clean it's whole 200,000 miles and the tank was almost spotless after about 125,000 when I did the in tank and pre pump mods. We get pretty good fuel in CA due to the changeout of all the fuel station tanks a few years ago. The BIO I get from the pump has a big (bigger than our oil filters) filter right on it that filters it right before it goes into the hose. I haven't noticed an increase in vacuum on my Dahl filter and I have looked.

As for selling it. No way, not worth the taxes, liability, and such.

My step dad just retired, and has been having some health issues, and he's bored. I'm thinking that if I get the setup, he can play and we both can save some $$$

I spend 6 hours once every two weeks, collecting and brewing my own. That is it 2 times a month. I do it on my day at home with the kids, we play in the back yard and such while the oil heats up etc. I take the difference at the pump vs my cost and put that money in a seperate account. That money buys all my supplies and then anything the trucks need, tires mods, registration, shocks etc. So it doesn't come out of our regular checking account and mess with the budget when I get PMS.
The best part is I do not send any of my American dollars oer to a country who wages war against my own countrymen. So to each his own. But ask your neighbors wife while he is over risking his life in a country who hates him how convienent it is to her that you may have paid for the bullet who killed him?
Just my opinion

A 5% decrease in the demand for oil would cause the world market to crash. That would deprive the Saudis of pretty much all their income. The demand for oil is not really elastic. Each person who buys a tank of fuel does so because they need it, not because the price is good. If one person changes from Petrol to Bio then that measurable amount of Petro fuel remains on the market. Sure the market itself is huge, but to say that someone else will buy it is not technically correct.
Alternative fuels are going full speed ahead in the US right now. Nearly 20% of all the corn grown in the US is for Ethanol.
