[AT] Anybody using/making Biodiesell?

[John Wilkens]

David, my next door neighbor makes biodiesel from used cooking oil he 
gets in town (we're out in the country).  He runs his car, a couple 
of pickups and his Case tractor on it.  Looks like  quite a 
process.  50 gal drums--and bigger, transfer pumps, drum heaters, 
filters and other stuff.  His shop is half full of the 
stuff.      Guess I wouldn't recomment it--unless you just want to do 
it to see if you can--like me putting a V8 in an 8N!   :)   John W.
