bio in NJ

[MSalvatore]

I am sick of the prices of diesel. Where can I purchase bio in central NJ. And is it worth it? or is it better to make it yourself? Cliff where in newark? were you getting it from?

right off of route 21 in Newark, on the waterfront... ... ... I know how to get there but would have to show you. Make sure you have a 55 gallon drum. Its warm out again so I'll probably going down in a few weeks after I finish replacing my entire brake system.

 

[MSalvatore]

hey there,

How are you? how much is it per gallon? where can I get a 55 gal. drum reasonably priced? what about making it myself? is it worth it?

Last I checked it was around 3. 00 a gallon and you get like . 99 cents back at the end of the year. I haven't filled the paperwork out yet since I haven't gotten around to doing my taxes yet (they owe me so its ok).



used and cleaned 55 gallon drums I think are around $25.



If you know anybody who owns a car wash they may have a 65 gallon drum (pvc). Just wash it out, they're soap is shipped in it. SO lots of hot water.



Figure the fuel meister kit will run around 2500 bucks to make it yourself. Then you need to collect and filter. If you don't have a garage the used oil stuff will freeze fairly solid in the winter. You need to decide how much free time it will take to do this. Thats why I'm going with the veg oil kit. I can use B100 in the main tank until it gets cold.



The best to describe it is that I have taken the simplest issue in my life and made it the most complicated. But with fuel hitting 4. 00 a gallon soon and I use 1 tank a week. This is what it works out to.



at $2. 50 a gallon it's $3,900 a year in fuel



at $2. 75 a gallon it's $4,290 a year in fuel



at $3. 00 a gallon it's $4,680 a year for fuel



at $3. 50 a gallon it's $5,820 a year in fuel



at $4. 00 a gallon it's $6,240 a year in fuel



and then the fun begins... . if we start shooting at Iran they say $6. 00



at $6. 00 a gallon its $9,390 a year



if we nuke (improbable) Iran they say figure on $9. 00 a gallon (but at least it solves the middle east question)



at $9. 00 a gallon it's $14,040 a year for fuel. It is at this point we all pray for diesel powered Vespa's



But I've been thinking about your situation and veggie oil is somewhat a pain. And why I didn't respond immediately. If you went with a veggie oil kit. $2,500 and you install it. You could run B100 all year and get the tax credit back.



Lets assume you have a 30 gallon tank.



Frybrid "91 Gallon Screw Opec Uber Kit"=$2,500

one year of 52 tanks of B100 and refund=$3,120

total=$5,620 for the first year.



and the year 2007 B100 use would still be $3,120

and the year 2008 B100 use would still be $3,120-last year of the refund I believe.



So thats $11,860 total cost for 3 years if Marty's B100 goodness stays at $3. 00 and you still get to keep the kit for vegetable oil use.



If #2 averages $3. 00 a gallon you'll pay $14,040 for three years worth of fuel.



If you go the Fuelmeister route its $3,000 for the kit

. 75 cents gallon to make B100 its $1,170 a year or



$6,500 for 3 years NICE!!



If you go the veggie oil route which you have to do for FuelMeister anyway



its $2,500 for the kit and a few hundred dollars for three years for starting on #2 and filters for the grease... ... . But its the most time consuming.



It kills me I don't have a farm. I have a hook for 300 gallons a week of used vegetable oil from April to October from Seaside Heights



Or we can pray for the Bird Flu and hope for a glut to drop #2 prices

cliff, I got a line of about 55gal a week. But the owner said smething about paperwork for proper disposal any idea's?



Marc

Marc I can call you tonight. Paperwork for disposal? Make sure your not getting "greasetrap" stuff. No clue on paperwork. Is this guy in Passiac County? I think they have funny laws. He has to make sure that he has a receipt for you taking it. To prove he isn't dumping it. Ask him if that is the case. If thats the case make up a receipt in microsoft word. I think he just needs to cover his butte.

 

[MSalvatore]

you can call me any time today.
