Dear Todd, Excellent reference!!! It addresses many of the topics to satisfy my curiosity, etc...
Here is Cape Town, we only have about 1000 fish and chip shops in the area. A couple of dozen fish processing plants and much more. Fish oil? I have completed my first biodiesal setup and tested. All went very well. I mixed up to 80% on a diesal pump and ran it for five hours without even skipping a pistons beat. It was nice to watch the changeover from petrodiesal to biodiesal. The smoke cleared and the smell changed. All in a moment. Surprised, though, at how much care one has to take to do a proper and reliable job. My advise to anyone is to keep instruments clean and don't hurry!!! My next step is to secure proper and reliable sources for the input material as well as build a small production (1000 liters/day). I still need to obtain proper batch testing methods. I am also surrounded by ocean and wonder if kelp could be used.??? Thanks for your help.

Also, start checking within a 40 mile radius of your port and determine how many fast food outlets you have, everything from hamburger joints to donut shops to chicken outlets. If you can count more than 30, you can feasibly build a biodiesel plant of 1,500 gallon per batch or day capacity and release the fuel for under $1.10 a gallon US (pre-tax), still maintaining a $0.50 a gallon profit and an eight month payback on the original debt. Check your feedstock sources and get back to me.
