OTOH,
I think we in the home-brew community need to be alert for any movement
on the part of the big trap grease companies to do just this.
I believe they will start to feel threatened and make collection of WVO
difficult by.

Hrm, well, I can't find what I was thinking of just now. According to

What!?!
Biodiesel isn't even flammable, let alone explosive. Instead, it's
considered a combustible liquid because the flashpoin

Transestherification swaps out the glycerol chain for an alcohol
one w/i the molecular bond of the oil, which, like Keith said, makes it
burn...or rather "explode under pressure" better than SVO. I believe in

I'm think the other side of the story "may" be that they, like many
large corporations, will actually talk down to potential customers, or
in language the company "believes" will be best understood. Whether
reducing viscosity or not being the original purpose, more of the

Fritz,
The answer to your first question is no I didn't. However it's your
second question that I'm responding to. According to the link you
provided, it states that it will work with biodiesel. I don't know if
you really didn't look at the site or were simply trolling.
As to the effacy of the
Hallo @ all,
did anyone of you know about this Tadgerdevice to
enhance burning of Fuel etc.?
www.tadgergroup.com
would this device work with Biofuel
to?
thanks for your input
