anyone know this process?
I have been looking for a cheap kit to make make biodiesel fuel and found a cheap one. I ordered a small start kit before i go all out. You get a barrel a few filters and a pump for not a bad deal. But the recipes are so different then what i have seen any where or heard. The recipe is some thing like mixing 10% kerosene and 5% unleaded gasoline (they say to lower the flash point) and fuel caytalyst bonder which which they sell. the kit is made by bio basics. anyone know anything then or the recipe if its good or not?

There are a few guys doing fuel blending on here. (which is what that is, except they charge you to buy their product, which you can purchase from your local hardware store separately for not much.) You may want to look up some guys who are doing fuel blending to get their formulas and specific things to look at when you chose to go that route.
good luck

Thanks for the replys. i added up the cost it would be about 60 cents a gallon to make and takes only 5 minutes i have 2 recipes now one for winter and one for summer. one thing i was told besure to filter well and no water. if anyone knows about negative things with this type of blend let me know. thanks
