[RC] [RC] Diesel at $3 a gallon /Biodiesel - LaFollett, Megan

Erick,

There are grass-roots forums out there that can tell you how to make
algae-derived biodiesel at home for yourself. I don't know a lot about
it, because my group focused on commercial-scale production. Biodiesel
is equivalent to petroleum-based diesel...except its "purer" -- since it
hasn't been sitting in the ground for eons, there are no contaminants
and none of the hydrocarbon chains have degraded. It's actually because
of the purity that you can get a gel-ing issue, but there are additives
that fix that.

"Is it practical to create a small scale distillery for private use?  I
have looked into bio-diesel and for farm use I am seriously considering
making some of my own.

Does anyone out there have personal experience with towing heavy loads
using Bio-Diesel?  How about in cold weather, I hear that it jells at a
higher temp than #2 Diesel does?
