:--) Tring to talk my wife into letting me do this. Getting more info from the company this week. No one makes BioFuel on the east coast. Cooking oil around here is very easy to get free.

I read an article in Landline Magazine last year. It was about an OTR trucker that made his diesel from the oil of the fast food joints in his town. He had added 2 extra filters on his truck, and had several "settling" tanks in his shop. He said that his biggest problem was the time required for proper settling of food debris in the oil. Apparently even a week was not enough time for his specs. However, he added the extra filters on the truck to accomdate this.



Also, being a big truck driver means that he needs a lot more fuel than most of us would. But the thing I got from the article was that it is a time intensive project. After the initial setup cost, how much driving do you do, how much time could, and would, you want to keep after it. How long would it take you to recover your costs. And finally, could you use it as a tax deduction for your business?

There is now a company in Virginia , Virginia BioDiesel, I think that is making biodiesel from soybean oil. They have some kind of setup with Perdue... . Perdue buys and grows the soybeans, they grind the soybeans, use the soybean meal for their chickens and Virginia Bio Diesel gets the oil. Supposedly upon completion of their process you can just about drink their product. There was a recent writeup in the Virginian Pilot newspaper about their operation. NCDOT has been using biodiesel in our trucks for several years now.

I'm a bit closer to the east coast. There are two producers within a 1/2 hour of my house. One in Bronx, NY, which is a less then a mile from saltwater and one in Staten Island (where I buy it by the 55 gallon drum) which is east of the east coast, and is the supplier for tugboats in the NYC Harbor. Marty makes about 30k gallons a week of B100.
