making biodiesel
I found online how to make a sampe batch of Biodiesel, it said all i need is methanol, lye, and oil. Ok here come the questions
What type of oil do I use?
Where can I get lye?
I know that that HEET stuff for gas lines has methanol, is that what I use?
Also do I need to do anything to my truck if I do run Biodiesel in it? They have some at a local BP and its almost the same price as diesel...I just want to try it and see. So is it just a fill up and go thing?
Can it be mixed with diesel? or does my system need to be cleaned out?

Check out also www.biodieselcommunity.org----Use unused veg oil to test frist and you can get lye from Lowes plumbing dept. where the drain cleaners are (ROBEC CRYSTAL DRAIN CLEANER) good enough to test with. Good Luck!
