If so,is it worth the price?I am wondering if I should build my own or buy a kit.They have what looks to be a decent setup with a drywash fo less than $1500.00.

I bought a fuelmeister couple of years ago. This does not look to bad and is cheaper than the fuelmeister. The only thing I see is that they say you can make biodiesel for .69 which is not true. My cost is about is about $1.35 which does not count the machine depreciation. This is still alot better than $4.19 now in Ohio. I do not make any in the winter due to the gel point of 32 for bio but you can buy additives to take that down to 0.

Well sir this is the setup I'm gonna buy,, I found a 80Gal Elc water heater at Mehnards for $454 out the door, with that and the kit, I'll be at $1026, Study your options,, and Google it till all you see are the same old pages,,,

The diff between the unit you looking at and some others costing more,, is the lack of metal plumbing, and a few other little things,,,, My brother and I are hashing back and forth about what system We want to get,, He wants this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/Biodiesel-Processor-80-Gallon-Complete-ready-to-run_W0QQitemZ170201221051QQihZ007QQcategoryZ57114Q QssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
In all my reading,,, I have found less good things about the plastic tanks sytems,, over the Appleseed designs,,, Maybe I haven't read enough, I would like to see anybodys setup near mid michigan,, to See it work, but as it stands,, Ive got about 5 small resturants will to hook me up with about 15 gallons aweek so far,,, Still on the hunt for more oil. When I get to where I think I can pull in 25 gals or so a week, I'm pulling the trigger on both the kit and water heater,,, plus some lumber to build a stand on wheels. Then I'm a gonna be cooking me up some Bio!!!!
