Re: [biofuel] Biodiesel plans and cold weather
Why you Keith? Because your name seems to be everywhere and on most of the e-mails I receive. Soo... I assumed you were the pro. Anyhow, I've now secured oil from a couple of restaurants and am on the way to a greener truck and less bills in my life. Thanks, and I'll be reading the e-mails. Greatly appreciated.

[biofuel] Biodiesel plans and cold weather
Keith, I'm new to the user group and am planning on making biodiesel. Do you have any plans that yo can forward? I do know that I will want to make at least 40 gallons at a time. I would be using restaurant oil, and have to deal with cold weather in the winter (down to the -40's). So I'm wondering what sort of mixes are necessary for dealing with the cold (i.e will the vegetable oil gel?) Any help you can pass on would be good.

Re: [biofuel] Biodiesel plans and cold weather
Greg: Lots on info on making biodiesel at the Journey to Forever site listed at the bottom of these messages - some of the best information anywhere, actually, contributed by many, and skillfully edited, compiled and placed online by Keith (who should get a nice donation from everyone who has used information from the JTF site, IMO..and they *do* take donations online, folks, so don't be shy (to use a nicer word than *cheap*!) and, you will want a heated filter of some sort. We supply those, and in-line heaters suitable for placement just ahead of the filter, and are located near Kelowna, BC (and Berkely, CA) Edward Beggs http://www.biofuels.ca On Friday, March 19, 2004, at 03:35 PM, Greg Karais wrote: Keith, I'm new to the user group and am planning on making biodiesel.
