Hi Darryl!
Running the generator on SVO seems a good idea, on the other hand,
should you get into BD making- Jeep came out with the Liberty CRD - a
common rail diesel design, and possibly of interest to you, up there
in Montana. Common rail diesels probably won't run on SVO, but they do
run on BD. So then, getting into the BD may be what you wantto do.
The area that you will use for production should be hated, you'll
spend SOME TIME there. And this is another consideration, converting
the generator to SVO doesn't take as much time as getting started
with BD. Happy planning! Stephan

Hello out there in biofuel land!
I live in Montana near Missoula, off the grid, our primary energy
source is solar
and our backup is a recently acquired diesel generator, to be
precise a 7500 watt
Lister Petter, prior to that we used a converted propane generator.
We are very
happy with the switch to diesel (it reduced our fuel costs by
2/3rds). Every week I
go into Missoula (I am an accountant) and work at a restaurant. The
restaurant pays
$25 per month to get rid of their used waste oil. I could very
easily pick up waste
oil from that restaurant (and other restaurants) and bring it back
to make biodiesel
for my generator. My concerns are fuel quality so I don't end up
damaging my
generator and attracting bears (we had 2 house break-ins last
fall). I am looking
at producing 50-100 gals per month in the winter (sometimes we will
go two weeks or
more with no direct sunlight, or "no solar-days" as I call them) and
half that in
the summer. What will my startup costs be? How much space will I
need, for
production and storage? How much t
I am currently in the process of planning a enclosure for the
generator and it
seemed to make since to include space for making and storing the
biodisel.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Luke
