Own a VW Westfalia which has a propane tank on drivers side. If I
were to buy a used westie propane tank and mount under passengers side
(there is a perfect spot where it will fit and has same bolt fittings
as drivers side does), drill proper hole for filling the tank and
finding some stopper
While I start buying the parts to build my $150 Fumeless Processor, I
wonder what the best way to store any used cooking oil that I pick up
from local restaurants and how long it should last to be useable for
biodiesel. So far I only picked up a test 5 gallon sample but have a
couple other
OK, after doing research and originally wanting to do the plastic cone
shaped processor, I have decided for safety purposes trying to make my
own $150 Fumeless Processor like the one shown on the Journey web
site. The image on the site is helpful on what components I need to
get and what goes
Curious where Girl Mark does these workshops? Is it in Calfifornia
someplace. Would love to attend one. Is there any upcoming classes
and where?

I think that is what we are trying to do. Make our own kit from these
conical shaped tanks that will do what we want at a much lower price
than these companies that are offering them. That is why we are
getting some more data. I kinda of like the idea of using a water
heater tank also but the

Just getting started in making biodiesel. Ordering items I need to
make my first batch as I have nothing other than the book from the
fryer to the fuel tank. Decided to call a local restaurant and the
chef there said I can come by and take cooking oil when he has it. He
empties the used
If you have made your own processor from one of these neat plastic
cone shaped tanks with matching stand that you can get from places
like US Plastics, I would like to ask you some questions if I can as I
am making my own and like the clean look of this type of setup. I
want something like the

Hello Tom
First, this:
So, thanks for letting me know who you are so I can email you some
questions as I do not want to clog up this group with many newbie
questions for people not using this platsic cone shapped
Thanks for the links. I have had a few minutes to look over but will
read further when I have more time. My main concern is safety at this
point and I am hearing, from at least the links you provide, the cone
tanks that are plastic, are not safe. I did not find any stories
about tanks catching
I have found that US Plastics Company sells nice conical tanks and
stands and all the other goodies to create my own biodiesel fuel
setup. They also sell pumps and mixers. I used their online tech
support today asking what mixer they recommended and their tech
support said they do not offer
Thanks for the great information. The thing that worries me is I
checked out these pumps and they state they are for water, not
chemicals. Is it dangerous to use these water pumps for highly
flamable chemicals? Is their a chemical grade that is more $$ but
safer? Any words of wisdom on this
I have found US Plastics but they are in Ohio. Shipping of a 70
gallon plastic conical shapped mixing tank and stand cost an arm and a
leg. Is there any companies on California that sell similar tanks? I
live in Grass Valley, about an hour from Sacramento.
Thanks

OK, so if I do not want to go through all this, are there renderers in
California that I can
legally by waste cooking oil from? I live in Northern, CA. I would guess the
companies
legally picking up the oil can then sell it?
Please point me in the right direction.
Thanks

I just heard it is illegal to collect waste frying oil from any-place
in Calfornia. Does anyone know if this is true or not and point me to
legal documents on the web that state this. I just purchased my first
diesel and am about to get into making my own biodiesel here in
