Bio Diesel

Post by DHallworth »

Do any of you guys make your own BioDiesel?

I'm getting fed up paying stupid prices for diesel just to get to and from work and am seriously considering buying a biodiesel plant to set up at home.

Here's the kits I'm looking at:

The ones that are of interest are the GR120 and the GR250.

I'm swayed towards the bigger one as it can produce more in a smaller time frame but the price is a bug bear!

In the family we've got 2 306 HDi's, a Xantia HDi, 3 tractors, mini digger, 2 JCB's all of which would take it so I think the benefit will pay off in a short period of time really.

There are some things we have which I wouldn't put it near, the V8 Diesel in the Range Rover being one of them.

Thoughts and opinions please?

David.
