Works for me.
If you would be setting on your ass doing nothing otherwise, then I say you are making money by making your own. Not making it to sell, making it to use for ourself. If I was making it to sell, it would cost you more then you wanted to pay.

Re: Has anyone thought about a Bio-Diesel?

The more fuel you can process at once,. the more economic sense it makes.
I've had good luck with my waste oil conversion,and can't be bothered with the processing and chemistry for biodiesel. An $18 filter will get 400 Gallons down to 0.005" before it plugs up. My pump burns $0.50 of gas transferring the oil, and I leave the oil sitting in the sun a week for the crap to settle to the bottom. It takes about 20 minutes to filter each drum.
Maybe in the long run I will have to spend $350 on an injection pump a little more often than the biodizzle boyz, and I have a one time conversion cost of 500~2000 depending on the vehicle.

Well maybe a different diesel motor would be a good idea. Not sure yet...just checking on all this now.
