Camillo, Keith, Dave, Thanks for your comments. I would really like to talk to Prof.Elsbett, please email me his contact if you can. The current retail price including tax for petro-diesel is 14 Baht/L (44Baht=1US$). The bulk purchase price for coconut oil including transport is now 11.50 Baht/L. From our campaign, it is most likely that both 'biodiesel' and vegetable oil will be tax exempted ! So...Camillo watch out for streams of enquieries to build plants here in Thailand ! (PS USDA R&D showed that Rape seed is of longer chain length and containing more unsaturated fatty acid component than coconut and palm kernel oil.) --- Samai Jaiin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Keith, > The sooner you write the better ! the 'biodiesel' > movement here is in danger of misinformation.
