This is a copy of a thread i started in the science section, hope no one is offended by a repeated post, but I wanted to share with family too... I just finished converting my Mercedes 300D to run on waste veggie oil. I remember when i was trying to learn about this i wanted to find a place where i could just take the truck (also have a diesel truck that im getting ready to convert) and have someone show me. So I figured, if you have a diesel and want to convert, it's cheap and easy. I'll tell you what parts to get (it'll cost around 500-600 dollars in parts), you bring them and I'll teach you how to do a custom install yourself. (Don't buy a kit) I am in Corvallis, Oregon, and have a place you can stay for a few days while you're here. Gotta buy your own food and be a good houseguest and all, and of course willing to wrench on your car, cause I'll show you but I wont do all the work. All I ask is that you pass on what you learn. And I always accept veggie oil donations. Kalanu
ravennnnnnnnnnnnn!!! why arent you here in PA?? I've been desperately trying to find someone to teach me how to make biodiesel and the whole process but cant find anything or anyone around here. Im from portugal and i live in my van, im an nomad and wanting to cut off with the oil industry... Im affraind ill go back to portugal and still not knowing how to make biodiesel, as i wanted so much to teach it other people there... Do you know of anyone here in PA or NJ who knows how to do it?
try http://biodiesel.infopop.cc or http://www.veggieavenger.com/avengerboard/ It costs $15, but a woman in Berkely has an amazing book that she puts out www.localb100.com/book.html. She also posts to those forums frequently too.
