Has anyone heard of or used this product?

I'm just getting into Bio Diesel and stumbled across this website while looking for an online supplier of materials needed to process wvo. Sounds too good to be true which of course leads me to believe it is, however I don't know enough to know what I don't know don't you know.


To be perfectly honest I'd be more than happy to pay a few bucks a bottle for an additive if all that was required was filtering of the wvo & this additive, after all I need to pay for materials to convert wvo to bio.


Does anyone have any ideas, comments, experience?
is this a scam :help2:


Thanks for the help all

Personal opinion is it's snake oil. Was discussed on a couple biodiesel forums I read a while back. General consensus was it sounded like it performed sort of a half-assed transesterification reaction. Of course nobody there had paid the dollar to buy it to see what it really was. At any rate, I wouldn't put anything made with it through a DMax, as without a true conversion to biodiesel your viscosity is going to be quite a little higher. I still maintain that is not good for the long-term health of the injection system. My advice is take the time and make the investment to produce proper biodiesel, filter the hell out of it, and make sure it is completely water free.
