I knew someone who was planning to make his own biodiesel refinery, apparently there are kits and the by product is soap.

Tut if you need oil there's pleanty going for free currently in the gulf of mexico, just take a bucket/large funnel/pipe etc.

They changed the ruling a couple of years ago to allow 2500 lts per year. Looked into it but could not be bothered.

I have just sat on a business panel judging new start businesses for grant funding; one of them was selling bio-deisel. Very interesting. Any deisel car can run on it without modification, and it is (supposidly) kinder to the engine than ordinary deisel. At 89p per litre, this may require some consideration, as both our Discovery & Astra are oil burners.

Has anyone every tried this stuff? Is there any long term damage that can be done?

The guy told me that VW Audi group warantees are now okay with you using this stuff. May even give better MPG (esp on older cars) and no performance loss.

Rubbish

Not all cars can run on it you need to check carefully as most diesels use the fuel as a lubricant in the injection pump and bio diesel is not very slippy and can destroy a modern fuel pump in seconds if it hasn't been designed for it.

But the boat anchor in the disco can run on damn near anything

Any idea about my TD5 Defender Thinfourth?
