There's a pair of garage dudes on Vashon Is. Selling biodiesel out of their
shop - I think it is homemade from waste cooking oil (but ANY vegetable oil
could be used). I don't know what the legal requirements, if any, are for
sellers of Biodiesel. A buddy of mine owns my old 300TD wagen - maybe I'll
pony up for a tank just to say we did it. But if I had a diesel, I'd be
welding up a big biodiesel blender right now.
The book I got is called:
From the Fryer to the Tank by Joshua Tickell (the veggievan guy)
ISBN0-9707227-0-2
Good arguements for Biodiesel in this book, political, environmental,
economic, agricultural. Did you know that Biodiesel is "carbon-neutral"?
That means it adds no net carbon -oxides to the atmosphere; CO2 emmited as
exhaust was originally absorbed by the growing plants.
Anyway, I think we are on the cusp of some exiciting stuff with Biodiesel.
Info on the Internet is pretty abundant for the DIYer.
