I am just wondering if anyone in here has heard of, or is producing WVO biodiesel and using it in their duramax. I looked through most of the posts on here and haven't really seen that anyone is using/making WVO Bio for there truck.. I was thinking about trying to use the WVO bio around the farm, we have a 60's case 1030, 70's massy 265, and a new holland LS150 skid loader, and maybe even my duramax.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
Would appreciate any info on using the WVO Bio, and possible places to look to get started with ideas or kits for processing WVO.<o:p></o:p>
Thanks,<o:p></o:p>

Jon,
Below are some sites I've found when doing research. There is a lot of reading. Keep us informed if you decide to crank up an oil refinery!!!
One of the sites has plans on building a processing unit from an electric hot water heater.

The bio I bought from a supplier was made from WVO...........generally a higher cetane, but also a higher gel point. Not a problem for me.

The idea of the "apple seed" processor has my attention. I will probably start running b20 next week and go from there.

Why would you need to heat hot water?:D
Just kidding, this is just a little joke my dad and I have going...we think they should technically be called "cold" water heaters!
I guess "water heater" is the general term though.
