Don't buy it! Processing BioD needs to happen in a pressure sealed
environment at around 135-140F. HDPE will break down when exposed to
NaOH/KOH and Methanol/Ethanol under heat and pressure. Pressure is
generated during the mixture of Lye/Methanol AND when that is mixed with
the heated oil. A metal tank is a much better way to process BioD.
Bring this question over to the BioD list and I'll help more if you'd
like to make your own home BioD for $300-400 or less.

We own three W123 turbodiesels so this is very tempting. Cost is about
$1700 + $450 more for the "dry washing" feature. We have lots of
restaurants that probably would be happy to get rid of their fryer
grease; the main snag might be the cost and ease of obtaining NAOH (caustic
soda). I also wonder how much lye and water is consumed per batch, and what
the brew would do to our fuel lines.,
