well the brut of a machine is now sat nicely in the garage (gonna need a big old trailer. next to ramp up my oil collections. get the trailer etc then get down to business. been on course the last 2 days and my first batch of bio looked alright (even if I say so myself).

no. but just collected mine today. very pleased...just need to start using it now.

looking good...... I'm picking up my bio diesel processor tomorrow and hope to have the business up and running so after (providing people with Bio on their door step for about 85p / ltr.

It might cost more to produce but it taxed as much. we it certainly isn't over here. about 30p / ltr instead of the usual 60p / ltr

sugar power. funny that someone who I work with and used to work at Bedford trucks (suppiers to the army) that could run on a variety of fuels had a theory that there's a conspiracy re; keeping things quiet that engines can run on water / sugar cube? got me thinking especially this bio-ethanol...

After next week I plan on boycotting all of them as I'm going to produce my own, so unless they drop the price by half I still be better off (unless it won't work on home brew bio).... I'll let you know how I get on but have no doubt it'll be just fine before I start offering my services to...

Redhand, thanks very much that interesting. cheers.

According to this document http://www.face-online.org.uk/resources/factsheets/discovering/biodiesel%20and%20vegetable%20oil%20as%20a%20fuel.pdfVegetable oil is a fuel substitute and therefore fuel duty is applicable?

I'm trying to upset you veg oil dudes.....BUT I think you'll find that unless you have an ester content of less than 98% doesn't count as bio-diesel (or something like that). in which case you'd still have to pay the duty....:confused: As soon as I get a bit more time I'll check / look into...

for give me. I'm sure when I was using vegetable oil I had to pay fuel duty on it? so how come you're telling you don't? (I'm not trying to upset anyone here but would like to be completely clear on this)

R U sure that I'm wrong.... you're not getting mixed up with the 2500 ltr / annum of duty free fuel are you?

you may or may not be interested in knowing (and I might even be wrong any way). My understanding it that using vegetable oil (and not paying the appropriate fuel duty to C&E) is just as naughty as using red diesel!

Hun73R just as way of an up date, the pump on my processor has proven to be faulty and therefore delivery of and my 2 day training course have been postponed. however the pump is due to be replaced this week so once thats done and I've been on the course and done a bit of trialing and home...

If anyone is interested I'm hoping to be 'supplying' biodiesel (in and around the B'ham area) for about 85p / ltr in a few weeks (well lets say 6 weeks). Want to be sure the quality right / consitant first. - could have sworn I already posted this.... but then I am new to this so perhaps I...

not sure if I should or shouldn't but if anyone is interested I'm hoping to be 'supplying' bio diesel in B'ham area within the next 2 - 3 months.

I understand Prince Charles had one converted for Bio ? I wonder what that involved? - sticker on the back perhaps, or did they really 'convert' it? - I'd love to know as I what one and I'm looking at supplying Bio.
