Does your model work on a small scale? Let's say I have a 50x50 pond in my back yard. How much oil will that produce over the year based on a summer growing season. How deep is the pond? What kind of process am I looking at for extracting the oil?

to elaborate on that a little (since I own one of these vehicles) Elsbett has recommended not converting vehicles equipped with Stanodyne pumps to SVO. (this came from Aleksander Noack directly, not sure if it's on their website or not) we had a LOT of failures (ie 7 or 8 now?) with these

I'm not sure where he's getting the following numbers: If the amount of fuel being washed in the top right row was 1,000 gallons and the water were to be discarded after each wash, there would be 4,000 gallons of waste water Even the resolute non-recycling mistwashers don't report such

Those pumps die anyway. Biodiesel isn't a problem with them. The Diesel Fuel Injection Equipment Manufacturers (Delphi, Stanadyne, Denso, Bosch) still make cautious noises about biodiesel but they're supportive nonetheless. They insist on standard-spec fuel at minimum, but it's easy to make
