I just wanted to hear from people making their own biodiesel. I can line up all the oil I will need in my area and will be using about 100 gallons a week in the summer. Not including homemade kits, if you all have one which one did you buy, and would you buy it again or buy something else? All opinions are wanted but as stated I want to purchase a ready to go kit between $1500 and $5000. Thanks Rob

Homemade here buddy, so no help there. That is the cheapest way to go. You will find lots of horror stories about the fuelmeister (aneurysm's of the hoses). There are literally dozens of ready made ones, none are cheap by any means, as you obviously know.
Sorry we can't link to them, just search google for biodiesel kits, 8th link is good site, they have nice kits, and have heard they work great. Bring check book.
I wish I had your oil supply.

www.b100supply.com (http://www.b100supply.com) for me.... Would buy again from Rick! Appleseed...
The only thing I would change is upsize from a 50 gallon water heater to an 80 gallon...

Thanks for the responses guys. With the price of diesel today I have to believe alot of people are making their own fuel, any other suggestions? Also any to avoid at all costs? Rob
