My word, two loads of bullshit - not only dieselsecret but selling glyc cocktail to composters. You didn't even get offered a commission or anything on that eh Tom? LOL!
The inquiries we keep getting about dieselsecret usually say they "stumbled upon" it and "it sounds too good to be true". I put the reply on a macro: "It's obvious that it's a scam..." Scores and scores of times, from Aug 05 to today: >Hey Keith, > Have you heard of the "revolutionary" Diesel Secret.com? They claim to not have to go through all of the transesterfication process when making biodiesel. Is this true?? Thanks, >Captain Johnny Odom It's all on our website anyway - the wondrous secret ingredient consists of xylol paint-stripper and moth balls, just what you'd want in your motor. See "Veg-oil blends": http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_svo.html#blends It's in the list archives too, of course. No toil and trouble, just add one teaspoon of white spirit, one strip of paint, the balls of a moth, half a cup of washed mist from your mist-washer, eye of a newt, toe of frog, never mind the fire burn and cauldron bubblewash bit, just put it in and go, and Hey! I've done dozens of trouble-free miles already! This one's also better than biodiesel, and only $3,000: http://www.myfastfuel.com/index.html Alternative Fuel Solutions >No more playing mad scientist with the alcohol/alkaline biodiesel method. -no preheating -no tiltrating -no washing -no chances of a corrosive fuel damaging expensive engine components, which is typical when using the alcohol/alkaline method. The fuel produced in our units comes out with a neutral PH -no glycerin to dispose of -no measuring -no dangerous mixture of explosive chemicals Not only that, your motor will last twice as long, it says. No test results though. Metal particles, dust, grit, moisture, acids, tars, additives, all removed with a filter, miraculous. But surely they can't be making a profit on it, I mean they won't be getting any glyc cocktail so they can flog it to composters. Tell you what though, the folks at dieselsecret might talk out of both sides of their mouths, but there's no shortage of avid punters out for a free lunch with their eyes crossed. Dieselsecret's laughing all the way to the bank. Best Keith >Gustl, Did you get a good laugh? I had an opportunity to check out the site only recently. I got an e-mail from a worm farmer in California who wanted to know about using the glycerine from BD production for composting. He had responded to an add in his local paper selling glycerine from BD production to "speed up compost piles." They sent him quotes from one of my posts to the biofuel list regarding composting with glycerine. During an exchange of e-mails he told me he was looking at a way to make biodiesel a new, easier way. He told me about www.dieselsecret.com and asked what I thought. I think I convinced him to save his money. I've been working on a bullshit-O-meter that can respond to "foul" websites; meter, buzzer and even a foul smell-emitting option. I hope to have it available for the holiday shopping season.

Yes, it is the only true Bio-diesel! The Germans at Mercedes have been doing this since the post World War II years but we have the only proprietary ingredients! On, and on, and on.
