You can also use ethanol, there are details here: Ethyl esters -- making ethanol biodiesel http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make2.html#ethylester But this is not for novices - for instance, it says there: "Making ethyl-esters biodiesel using ethanol is a tricky process, not as simple as making methyl esters with methanol." "Get plenty of experience making biodiesel with methanol before you try it with ethanol. Get comfortable titrating your oil for FFAs (free fatty acids); you'll need to do that when you use ethanol." Etc. If you try it without gaining some (or a lot) of experience first, you'll fail. So, start at the beginning, which is here: "Where do I start?" http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make.html#start >Can anyone send me the pdf file of joshua tickells book from the >fryer to the tank please at Joshua's book is copyrighted and is not to be distributed free over the Internet. Please, anyone who may have a pdf copy of it, DON'T send it to Jean Paul, or anyone. If you want the book you'll have to buy it. That said, Joshua's book has been severely criticised. You'll find some of criticisms here: http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/BIOFUEL/31729/ "Don't take any notice of that book, it'll only lead you astray. Follow the information at Journey to Forever." ... Which starts at the where-to-start link I gave you above. Read the whole thing. There's a lot more information at the Journey to Forever biodiesel section, and in the online Biofuels library there, everything you need to know. (And it's free.) Another great resource is the archives of this list. It's a treasure house of information on all aspects of biofuels, especially biodiesel - it contains 34,000 messages over the last for years, many of them from leaders in the field worldwide. It's an independent archives, not Yahoo's, provided and maintained by list member Martin Klingensmith, with powerful, fast and efficient searching, and no ads.
