At the time, officials said the city would share in profit from the sale of excess landfill gas and would be reimbursed for plant equipment. The Chris Well-known member. I talked to someone working at the Green Spot today, and he said their feedstock is animal fat and you have to call in advance between am and 9pm and tell them how much B99 you want.
I believe it's the B20 blend sold at the truck stop but I can't be certain. The prices are always higher at the Valero, and with the two stations so close together, why not go straight to the source at DFW BioD? DFW Biodiesel vegetable only I have talked to Bobby Camp about animal vs vegetable and he was adamant about vegetable only. I don't remember for sure but I think he said he had experimented with animal feedstock, didn't like the result, and has sworn off it since. Last edited: May 22, My chicken fat runs just fine.
What where the results that Bobby got? I'm about to convert 1L of bacon grease to bio-d and plan on dumping it in the tank. You can call him if you want at You must log in or register to reply here.

That's a heck of a lot of weight, but at least the load lessens as you burn off fuel. Good luck and have fun! Wow 4 drums! I have pulled a some inappropriate trailers with my sd but if your experience works out without any transmission problems or overheating with the weight of all that liquid encourages me to push the envelope more.
Pulling a 5x8 enclosed trailer full of beach toys in the summer with the AC on made for some real borderline overheating coolant temps. Pulling the same trailer with a lb motorcycle in it felt like the car was taking a lot of energy to stay over 65mph.
Next town you have a layover in treat yourself to a nice 12volt transfer pump. Youv'e earned it. What is the valve for that goes to the small bunghole? I can't imagine that all of that oil won't get you across the country and back. I have dreamed of doing similar.
This spring I have a goal of getting to Colorado from Tennessee and back without conventional fueling. It would take over gal. I love these stories. I have thought of making some sort of website that is veggieblog.
Too many more important projects need my attention though. View Photos By: H-townbenzoboy. What might be helpful is to start listing the places that do the recycling so that you can buy it from them at a low cost.
I own 4 quick serve restaurants. My problem is the small recyclers who have picked up the waste have not been dependable. When they get tired of it and quit I get charged a fee to go back to big recyclers. Around a fee. So I am very leary.
I am getting to point of doing something myself though. We are switching to 0 trans fat and I am told this is much easier to work with. I own a restaurant in Pleasantville, NJ. Does anyone have info on how i could get this oil pick up for free? Some people convert their diesel autos so that they can run on WVO, which is a wonderful way of recycling. It costs a grand or so to convert an existing diesel car to run on WVO, but then you can essentially get free fuel as long as restaurants are paying to throw the stuff out.
A company that is going to take your junk and turn it into something that makes them money should be picking it up for free: charging an initiation fee for the service is bull.
Turning the WVO into biodiesel does make it more useful for normal diesel engines. But it comes with the disadvantages cited in the article. I have a Ph. Nevertheless, if done right, the biodiesel conversion CAN be done safely and effectively. However, glycerol has an awful lot of uses it can be converted to fuels like ethanol and methanol, for example , and if biodiesel were to really take off, some smart person would recognize the potential of collecting the waste glycerol and using it for something useful.
They might even be able to charge a few bucks for pickup, but that would still make the biodiesel a cheap fuel. There are substantial hurdles, and I agree that websites that make it sound trivial to cook up a batch in your garage are walking the line on safety.
Of course, once Exxon starts making biodiesel, Detroit might actually start making cars with diesel engines.
Until then, the biggest hurdle for the average person is finding a car or truck that actually has a diesel engine. Please email me the contact info to learn more about that slick little conversion machine.
I would like to get into making bio-diesel. My email is lee acme-castings. I live in Edgewater, NJ. Personal use, need to dispose of about 2 gallons of cooking oil per month.
Are there locations near me? I am currently collecting and Re-using old Vegetable Oil..! Brewing your own bio is not that hazardous except for the methohydroxide, which is volatile. Careful titration is key, and even more important is sourcing GOOD oil. And if they have a suitable diesel vehicle, they can become a member of the coop and buy fuel at cost. Last year NYS passed a tax free exemption for all alternatives, so at least the tax state is with the program. Its good until around 28 or so, roughly.
I have a pizza shop in western Wayne County Michigan. I have about 60 gallons of oil I need removed from the store. Contact me if interested. If you are interested please send email at job craigslist.
I pick up your oil for free. If you are interested please contact me at — bennyloans optonline. I run a cooking oil management program in South Jersey, Delaware and the surrounding area. My company will supply waste tanks and offer free removal. Very cost efficient, safer than manually dumping into a tank and less messy.
Contact me anytime for more information. Use a realiable service for your collection. It can be dangerous for the recycler and their surrounding community. We have a fully licensed facility with experience engineers on staff. Email me for more information. My email address is kris monarchx. Omitted from previous email. Showing them will work much better. You do realize that the same engine would also run on plain vegetable oil.
Yet easy to show chemically that you have indeed transformed the veg oil into something else. If you say that the class members have no interest in chemistry, well thay are in the wrong class, they are looking for a class on the practical aspects of making fuel on a consumer scale.
Dont get me wrong, that would be a great class, but much more challenging to put together and would definitely need a consumer for the fuel. And even those people would be better off truly understanding the chemistry. I thought demo 1 L scale would be a good start. I misunderstood. I got the impression that we were looking to make people interested in the science of biodiesel production via practical demonstration.
Yes, I realize you can run SVO. But if you want to hook the interests of looky-loos on the science i. Either way, suits me fine. Josh appeared interested in a practical demonstration of using the end product. Saw the video. Note that this took four days, mostly time to settle out glycerol from gallons of fluid. The product she made is ghastly, caustic and sure to destroy her car in time. T No question she made some biodiesel, or there would be no glycerol, but here was no washing step, no heating, really feeble mixing, this would have had very low yield.
She could just as easily said some magic words, put the waste veg oil into her tank exactly as it was, without any methoxide, and her car would have started just as well. The liter-scale demo can be done within a class period and makes a really pretty product, because it is so much easier to thoroughly and evenly heat, mix, wash, and settle a small volume.
I will look for a good video, but in meantime what you get is a golden liquid that you might actually be willing to put in your tank, floating above a clear gooey well-defined layer that is glycerine and looks like it, rather than like toxic sludge. I played with biodiesel for a while over ten years ago. They have people who pay to pick it up or take it for free as a service. If you raid their barrels, they get kind of upset about that.
