I ended up buyingt an old Mercedes W123 diesel which i've expermented with new vegatable oil and old motor oil with so far. It gets 30 mpg and is my daily driver. I certainly don't need a tank to run errands. My E350 6.9 costs me about $600 a year to keep and I sure will for its usefulness .
old oil ??????

Bio Babes?

I live in Pacheco, CA and just starting to research biodiesel processes. What kind of licensing and bonding do you need to obtain wvo from CA sources?

just more costs for the start-up, but will it pay for itself still? I am paying roughly 4.99 to 5.40 a gallon for straight diesel these days and its killing me!
