Hi John I'm not quite sure what you mean - you want to convert the veg oil to boidiesel or just use it as fuel as-is? If you want to use it as fuel without making biodiesel, two suggestions - first, check this out, if you haven't already: http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_svo.html Straight vegetable oil as diesel fuel Second, talk to Ed Beggs at Neoteric Biofuels. He's on this list and just posted some info, but his email address is "Neoteric Biofuels Inc." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and his website is at: http://www.biofuels.ca If you want to make biodiesel, it's really quite easy, just follow the recipe, like baking a cake, very few of us are chemists. This is the simplest way - follow the instructions, don't mind the explanations too much: http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_mike.html Are you using palm oil?
